My mom is very protective kind; back in school when I was pre-teen to mid teens I almost never got permission to go to school picnics, when they used to go to beaches and lakes etc. and then, I used to think, when I am grown old and have my own kids, I wont stop them and let them have all the fun they can, with fellow pupils.
Yesterday, when my Aunt told me my cousin (6th grader, 10 years old) will be going to sands pit for a camp fire arranged by his school I bombarded her with ten fifteen quick questions, filled with worst possible scenarios what could happen. Who is going to take care of him? And all the “what if’s?” And he is only my cousin. I am not going to be a parent any time soon, that I know for sure, but I have serious doubts if I will be able to keep the promise that once I made to myself. I am still hugely in favor of to let kids go and enjoy, brighten their horizons, but, not at the risk of their safety. I think, I will be a protective parent too.

As much as we may not like it, we always end up becoming like our parents. Its human nature. You can't fight it.
But, those kids that have really protective parents learn *NOT* to take risks. And risks, are the only entertainment in life.
I dont want my kids to be like that :S
Sid... :~)
Neuro... Aham aham :p
Raj, i guess there is some truth to what u said, or perhaps almost all the parents end up being the same :)
uXuf, u still need some grey hair before u learn words like 'stability' and 'calculated risk' rather than just risk :)
oh wow :P
