Parenting boundaries focus on teaching children consent and self-ownership of their bodies. A mother emphasizes the importance of respecting a child's feelings, such as not allowing tickling if the child says no. Other parents share boundaries like not forcing physical affection, the necessity of supervision near water, avoiding sleepovers, protecting children's online privacy, and prioritizing children's peace over social expectations. Ensuring children are healthy and not attending events if sick is also highlighted. These boundaries aim to foster a safe and respectful environment for children.
"I don't let people tickle my toddler if he says no - even if they're 'just playing.' It's not cute if it's not consensual and I'm not here to raise a people-pleaser who laughs through discomfort."
"This is the kind of boundary that makes people roll their eyes but my job isn't to make them comfortable - it's to teach my kid he is allowed to own his body."
"If you can't respect me/get along with me, you won't be around my kids."
"If my kids are overstimulated, we will leave. Their peace is more important than you wanting the 'perfect' family function."
