[QUOTE="Californiablonde, post: 612350, member: 2196"] Upallnight, you are so right and I see it all the time where I work. My coworkers constantly put the blame on the parents over here. Kid gets bad grades? Blame the parents. Kid refuses to come to school? Obviously the parents never had any control over them when they were little. I am trying to educate people as much as possible about difficult children and the reasons why they do some of the things they do. I don't know if I'm making any impact on anybody, but I sure am trying. It just burns me up to hear a teacher or a coworker say it's all the parents fault when the kid misbehaves. Of course there are a few times I do see a parent who has basically let their kids do whatever they want without suffering any consequences, but more often than not it's so much more than that. I am constantly hearing the blame game and I don't like it, especially when it comes to my own life. If someone has never walked in my shoes they can't even come close to telling me what I should/would/could do. Everybody has a story and those who think they have it all figured out are just ignorant. Yes, that includes my boyfriend. [/QUOTE]
