two points:
1) I am firmly convinced that the grown-up conspiracy is key to kid's development. Heh-heh, we're all that way and we're all watching!!!
2) I just went to my old (co-PG) friend's fiftieth birthday and was shocked by the admission by ALL our friend's parents that a) it was ridiculous that we had to go to school; b) they KNEW we were both uncontrollable but (they hoped) safe; and that; c) they all got us. It was a humbling experience. This was from life in a university/ research town from gt parents but still it highlighted the emotional vs. experienced life of pg kids.
