Depends on what you call being overprotective.
You should always defend your children in a situation like that.
I was thinking of other types of situations

well then tell me oh wise seer of child rearing... what IS the proper amount?
I didn't say that I know what the right amount is...just that there is a right amount....and that this amount is better than others....but if it comes to raising children better safe than sorry which basically means "Overprotective is better than to easy going"
And I did not insult your children....that's why its over the top....understandable but still....

Well then might I suggest you refrain from making statements like 'there is a certain amount that is good' if you have no clue what that amount is?

No.....I know there is a right amount...I don*t have to know the amount to know that it exists......
Think of it like that....there is a Guard at a gate and he will let you in for the right amount of money...you know that there is a right amount...but you don*t know what it is.....

Trust me......you just talk and talk and deny and deny and blame and blame......and even if you are not Pissed off.....ok....still for some reason you deny a simple truth that there is a right amount for almost everything and that it's not necessary to know the value of that amount to know its existance...and can someone step in and state the obvious.....?
