> Often people seem to be happy for other peoples children to do what they like but not theirs. To me this seems like the wrong attitude towards ones neighbours. I think you miss the important concept, that people can have different world views and different things might be acceptable to them.
So I may not approve my kids/family/myself doing something, living some kind of lifestyle, but I accept that there are people who have different values and it's OK for me (as long as it doesn't infringe my freedom, of course). Otherwise, we have religious fundamentalism. |

Your children do not grow up in a vacuum. You as parents have limited influence, the society they grow up in is having at least an equal impact. You cannot successfully transmit values such as "porn is bad" if everyone around you, the media and the teacher in school is telling your kids the opposite. Humans to not get raised and live in isolation or a vacuum, society matters. A lot.
> Otherwise, we have religious fundamentalism.
If you extrapolate your point of view, hopefully finding that is destined to fail, you will have made the first step in realising why religions exist.
