yes, much easier to do it if you are not the parent, unless you establish some 'distance' right from the start by not indulging the child. This is now seen as 'bad parenting' when in fact it does the child no favours. IMO it is easy to spot the difference in adults, those that were 'befriended' by their parents turn out immature and self-entitled.
The line between adult and child gets blurred. When my brothers and I were young people would come to see my parents, aunties, uncles, friends, they would sit and chat, we would never disturb them. We had no interest in disturbing them, there was nothing there for us. We entertained ourselves. Now if I go to my brothers we can't get 5 minutes to have a chat without the children bugging us, demanding attention. Just completely wrong.
Personally I don't really like children which is why I never had any. They seem to be either dim and annoying or precocious and annoying. I'm very much from the 'seen and not heard' school, me.
