You have never had children, right? Or if you did, you had one and they’re still pre-toddler?

I know that some people had horrible parents that mistreated them and hence they ended up being very sensitive to any parental reprimand. That sucks. None the less, kids need unconditional love, but they also need boundaries. Loving them means you sometime have to lay down the law. It’s not fun. It’s a hell of a lot easier to not do it.

But there are real reasons to not do it? Doesn't it seem rude or unfair or maybe hateful to imply (imply, not say explicitly) that the only reason people would avoid laying down the law is out of laziness?

No I don’t think there are reasons to never do it. There are simply so many situations that come up that I cannot comprehend why never doing it is the right choice. Please note though, I’m not saying that the reason you’d not do it is laziness. Hell no. If anything that approach is more work.

Hm ok.. I don't know why i interpreted that way but its comforting to hear thats not what you intended.
