I don't think one small experience will taint a kid, but I think they can add up if that's your philosophy with every event. Kids might not necessarily be smart, but they are pretty perceptive and pick up what the rules are. I think kids adapt to rules just like they adapt to parents not enforcing them.
Again, that's just my 3rd party opinion based on observation and not much else. I have a 8 month pregnant wife though, so I can try my theories out in the real world soon, ha.

That's what I'm hoping is true. This way you at least have some control.
