Right, but I wonder whether/to what extent we disagree on the level to which parents actually have environmental control. Not influence, mind you, but control.
Parents absolutely have a responsibility and great level of influence. But as I look back now (supplemented over time by countless conversations with my now-grown sons to fill in the missing links)? Man, it just seems like it was a lot more perilous out there for parents than I thought at the time -- and I raised mine before full-fledged social media.
