[QUOTE="chrisdog01, post: 154744, member: 5211"] I get so frustrated and mad when people say the reason kids act out, get in trouble, etc. is because of the parents. Obviously the people who say this all have easy child's, right? I belong to a message board for my area of town. Overall it's a great board with lots of community info, people just chatting, etc. Quite often people will ask about different situations such as vandalism, burglaries, etc., and 80% of the responses are that this is caused by teenagers who have parents that don't care about them. Usually I just let the whole thing go. But not today! Today there was a post about some kids that were detained by the police department during school hours for attempted burglary. Several people made comments about "where are the parents", "why haven't they done their job", "their parents probably don't care about them", etc. The one that really ****** me off today was that when kids get in legal trouble then the parents should be legally responsible and either get arrested or cited. WTF?? So I guess when my 18 year old difficult child got arrested for receiving stolen property and auto theft while cutting school, my husband and I also should have been arrested? Gee, we just didn't raise him right, so we should suffer the consequences of his actions. Bummer for us. :furious: This is another reason why I love this board. All those yahoos elsewhere don't get us and our situations. (Boy, I'm in a really foul mood today.) [/QUOTE]
