Unsolved mysteries yes!! What a blast from the past. Why was COPS even a show? That music intro is iconic, tho 😂

I'm a Millennial raised by conservative Christian Baby Boomers. Sure, they smoked and we got spanked if we misbehaved. But my childhood looked a lot more like the first one in the short. Almost exactly, actually. My dad would read us a bedtime story, then my mom would come snuggle us for five minutes. If we didn't fall asleep by that time, we'd fall asleep listening to stories on cassette tape, on our radio that had little blinky nightlights. If we had a bad dream we could always go crawl in bed with our parents where it was safe.

Believe it or not, its possible to both be gentle with your kids, and enforce rules, boundaries, and consequences for their actions. You sound like those dumbasses from the 70's who believed if you cuddled the newborn too much right after birth they would grow up spoiled. Childhood sets the stage for the rest of your life, and having security and love during that time in your life is absolutely invaluable. They will learn how hard life is when they transition to older and more independent stages of life. And they will be able to handle all those challenges with a deeply ingrained security and confidence that comes from having a strong foundation of love and stability in childhood.

Nah, they're not. They're going to grow up with secure attachment and no psychological trauma that hinders them from doing their best in life. Like I said in my other comment, I had parents that raised me this way in the '90s. They were former hippies turned conservatives, and they had kids a bit later. They saw what burn-out permissive hippie parenting did to set their friends' kids off on the wrong foot, so they raised us in a way some of my other friends called "strict," but *none* of that included withholding love and affection. In return they got a kid they could trust, who told them everything, who got through their teen years without doing drugs or sleeping around, and who waited til 21 to drink. Be firm with your kids, because kids thrive with clear and consistent boundaries, but don't withhold love and softness, it's not going to do any good for them.
