[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 335335, member: 1514"] I know parents like him. Many of them in fact. They are too busy being their kids friends and not being their kids parents. Without fail, they will rescue and excuse all bad behavior and lay blame everywhere but where it should lay which is at the feet of their precious child. I have heard time and time again how it is the schools fault, the other kids fault, the cops fault, the courts fault, blah blah blah but it is never juniors fault that he/she got into trouble. Junior never had to take responsibility for doing the wrong thing. Mommy or Daddy would lie, beg or steal to keep Junior from facing consequences. At some point, it became so bad that Mommy or Daddy couldnt stop those consequences anymore. Junior did something really bad. Either he got so drunk he dove into the water where it was too shallow and now he is paralyzed from the neck down, he committed heinous crimes and got locked up for life, he got drunk and got killed in the middle of the road, he got shot in his own yard by a drug dealer or some other misfortune. It hoovers. I think if parents would be parents instead of friends, maybe it wouldnt be such a shock when things go bad. [/QUOTE]
