Hmmm... I wonder if there is some way to include what my husband and I call the tyranny of high expectations. We were both disciplined in that way.
Our parents trusted us to do what was right. We didn't have curfews. They saw us as good and decent people with the ability to do well at school and behave well towards others. They thought we were way too wise to get involved in drugs or get pregnant.
It was a terrible burden. And we joke about it all the time. Yet I think we raise our son with that same tyranny.
