The Glass Castleby By Jeanette Walls
In the memoir The Glass Castleby Jeanette Walls the parenting style most exemplified by Rex and Rose Mary Walls is permissive.
They are permissive, because “as an indulgent parents, have few demands to make of their children”.
“We climbed under the fence and kneed around Dad while he petted the cheetah… The cheetah licked my palm his toungue warm and rough, like sand paper in hot water.”
This quote symbolizing that the Walls kids can do everything no matter it is good or bad, safe or eathly. Even their Dad allows and lets them do it.
Their parenting style has also “rarely discipline”.
“She had Dad’s pistol and she pointed is dead at Billy…
“We’re going to Phoenix… Tonight.””
One of the best exemple for the permissive prenting style is this
quote. They try to shoot somebody and the solution is that they’re moving.
A typical thought about the permissive parents is that “they’re more friend for their kids then a parent”.
“They had made her realize that she’d been living her life for other people. She intended to quit her teaching job and devote herself to her art…
“You can earn money. Lori can earn money, too.””
In this case the mother acting like she is not a mother. She says to her kids to earn money fot the whole family while she is in her art.
The reason why I think that the Walls parents are permissive parents is, they “have very few demands to make of their children, “rarely discipline”, “they are more friends for their kids then parents”.
