Has parenting changed? - Parenting Rules to write about

This column was in The Arizona Republic, today, Wednesday, November 2, 2011.  http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/arizonaliving/articles/2011/11/01/20111101abby1102-teens-mom-sooo-strict.html   I normally don't read Dear Abby, but I couldn't resist when I looked at the title "Teen's mom sooo strict."  I know lots of parenting practices have changed.  Perhaps we need to include parenting rules when we write about our families.
