If your child does something wrong, would you protect them from facing the consequences or would you teach them and make sure they face consequences?

I don't understand parents who say they'll protect their child no matter what. If your child is in a hit and run, you'll take the blame. If your child drives drink, you'll do everything in your power to make sure they don't get jail time.

It's my job to be a mother. Not a friend. If my child is doing something wrong, whether it's bullying or driving drunk, he better not come running to me to save him. My job is to teach him and to make sure he learns from his mistakes.

How are you helping your child by enabling them and allowing them to live in a world where they don't face consequences?
