I never understood the notion of controlling your kids... I have three (admittedly young) kids myself, and I couldn't imagine ever trying to oppress them by being overly strict, restricting their freedoms or disapproving of their interests...
Sure I have expectations as far as the way they treat others, that they put in at least a good effort at school, that they clean up, finish chores etc... but thats all good and normal... I couldn't ever imagine trying to "control" any of them... I love them too much to squash 'em.
