I am not the enemy

From Denise

It is time for parents to understand that being in the driver’s seat as a parent means more than just sitting behind the wheel of the minivan. It is time for institutions to abandon their adversarial stance towards parents. They are to cooperate with my agenda for my child, not fight it. No one loves my child more than I do. I am not the enemy. I am the parent.

This post is so encouraging. It seems everything we do with our children nowadays must go against the "norm" and so, as Denise says, we are looked at as strange because we want to parent our children, not the school boards, or the AMA, or anybody else. Go read and be inspired.
