Carolyn Hax: '80s kid struggles with sister's intense parenting

Original: Column | Carolyn Hax: Kid of the ’80s can’t understand sister’s intense parenting style

Advice columnist Carolyn Hax tackles a reader's complaint that their sister, a parent, is far more intense and protective than the free-range upbringing typical of the 1980s. The column explores generational differences in parenting norms, and readers are weighing in on whether today's hands-on approach is justified or overdone.

Why now: Ongoing debate over generational shifts in parenting styles makes this advice column resonant.
