<upd_detl>Interesting that GG5 does a longish subentry for it within a lower sense of 甘い. I think it's worth keeping.</upd_detl>
<upd_refs>GG5: 子供に甘い be 「soft on ［lenient with］ one's children; be (over)indulgent 「toward ［to］ one's children; indulge one's children
- 子供に甘い父親ばかりで, かつての父の権威は失墜し続けている． Looking around, it seems that paternal authority continues to decline, as fathers show nothing but indulgence toward their children.</upd_refs>
