Re: Why are parents OVERprotective?

"Likewise, within a species bold, reckless individuals tend to live shorter lives but have more offspring, whereas shy, careful individuals have fewer offspring but they are more likely to live to childbearing age. It tends to balance out at a species level, or at least an ecosystem level, "

Yes. But we should expect bold, reckless parents as well as shy, careful parents. We should expect bold, reckless daughters as well as shy, careful daughters. Therefore, where parents and daughter disagree on who she should have sex with, we should expect both bold parents pressing a shy daughter into marriage as well as careful parents protecting reckless daughter´s chastity.

Why are the second kind of parents so much more common than the first?
