Did you ever think about all the ways that people tell girls that they don't get to draw boundaries?
Girls x2. KIDS don't get to draw boundaries (except in perhaps unusually functional families like yours--thank you for existing).
I would give numerous examples of my personal childhood experience relevant to this topic, except I think that might be showing inappropriate boundaries now as an adult. I'm not sure about this because the rules I learned about boundaries are so inconsistent. How circular, eh?
