Permissive parenting that avoids setting clear limits and saying 'no' does not create happier children or parents; instead it forces constant parental surveillance, generates parental resentment (which is then covertly expressed through withdrawn attention and coldness), and paradoxically trains the child for failure in settings with rules.

Unidentified Speaker — Your Dark Side and Control Over Your Life | Robert Greene |… [hgFX-ZsOscc]Evidence Quote
“And because they had never taught the child what no meant... They couldn't give the child any freedom at all. They had to wander around behind them all the time... And so then you start to hate your child, right? Because instead of having a bit of free time... you're just non-stop monitoring this child and you're mad cuz you don't have a life.”
