Sonia answers:

Ones that are obviously a joke and ive done as well:
kids riding snakes, theyre boa constrictors, not poisonous and they dont eat humans, they had them at the zoo and all of the kids had their pictures sitting on their backs (more like kneeling over them so they dont hurt the snake)
various kids in cages, for some odd reason, my cousins loves to hang out in the dog crate, its like their little fort or something, weve taken a couple pictures before as jokes, theyre laughing the whole time and can get out any time they want
little kid with rub on tattoo tramp stamp, wasnt my idea, she put it on there innocently and simply thought she was putting her tattoo on her back
kid sticking out of washing machine, she had half her body out the whole time and i made sure no one went anywhere near the start button
kids with chinese food, dont really get this one, i guess its because the kids are a little chubby?

Ones that were staged pictures that arent really dangerous:
kid in the claw machine
baby leaning over in toilet (as long as hes not actually drinking the water)
kid “molesting” the mannequin
kids with guns, i know plenty of kids who shoot, with supervision, at targets, and the ear phones and way hes holding show that hes at a range and is being instructed
kid looking up skirts

ones that were meant as a joke but just arent funny:
kid lapping up champagne on the beach, i wouldnt want a kid putting their mouth to the sand
kid with cigarette holding moms boobs
various babies smoking unlit cigarettes
various kids with beer funnels
baby in standing in toilet, the kid is clearly crying and doesnt want to be there
wind surfing with baby strapped on
baby poll dancer
various nude shots with kid in the background
baby with bong
kid in the shopping bag
toddler leash, reason why i will never use one

ones that are just plain messed up:
baby seat in road
baby in cage sticking out of apartment
baby actually smoking cigarette
child clearly too big for a stroller and is clearly overweight eating ice cream in a stroller (unless theres some story behind it, like she has health issues)
baby on the floor while mom plays electronic poker
holding baby by the leg
kid on the trike in the busy street
flippin off the homeless woman
riding over kids hands (though i suspect theres a story behind this one)
holding kid down hole

only two that im 50/50 on is kid sleeping under the bar, could be a staged joke or could be “what were you thinking” parenting, and baby lying on pool toy in the water, we let my cousins float around on the rafts as babies all the time, with an adult standing right next to them the whole time, there could be an adult half a foot away ready to make the grab is the kid started to roll, in which case its just a staged joke, if not, thats a really stupid idea and falls into just messed up

Sonia answers:

Authoritative parenting is actually a happy balance between authoritarian and permissive. It takes the benefits of both methods and combines them. Usually happy balances work best when working with people (including children). I like the definition which breaks permissive down into indulgent or neglectful. As the definition of permissive is too broad otherwise.

Authoritative parenting style has resulted in children becoming more mature, having more self control, self discipline, being more successful and having more friends (you will find a lot of research that shows this). I think one of the main reasons for this is that the parents who practice authoritative methods are well balanced themselves. Authoritarian parenting can be practised through fear of loosing control due to a low self esteem. Authoritarian upbringings can sometimes lead to indulgent parenting styles being adopted when the children become parents themselves. In most cases there is usually an imbalance and/or insecurity at the heart of the actions. I don’t even need to go into neglectful parenting!!

To angelmom I think attachment parenting is a form of authoritative parenting because above all it is child centered. All the needs of the child are met, they are also being taught the social rules of wider society. They are not being left to do what they want and nor are they being forced to fit into the parents ideal structure. Attachment introduces the rules when the children have the mental compacity to understand them.
