I have seen way more of the lax parenting approach now a days than the overprotective parenting for teenagers lately.
For the younger kids, I hate to admit it, but it's pretty annoying. If their kid is under 10, parents are terrified to let their child out of their sight. By the time the kid gets to 13, the parents have decided they are tired and the new wave of "letting go" is what they should be following. Nutballs have made it hard to discipline your children... Ah it's just all a joke now.
It amounts to people sticking their noses too far into other people's business, and being lazy.
