[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 465855, member: 11791"] I'm on the kids' side. Which in this case means... poor kids. I think you're dealing with parents who were raised exactly this way. They don't know any better - really, honestly, they've never seen it done, never experienced it as a child. How on earth are they supposed to "get it"??? This situation screams for cross-over cooperation. Some way to offer parenting classes, child-minding services and healthy cooking (including snack prep) in some corner of the operation... to be offered by some other charitable organization, but [U]right under their noses[/U]. Take away the "I can't get there" argument... they ARE there. Offered on a drop-in basis. And so on. How, for the sake of the KIDS, can we break the cycle? Of course... there are no easy answers. In a perfect world, every child will have grown up in a "reasonably" parented home - had basic needs met appropriately, learned basic skills, and so on. At which point, they have some basis for being parents too. [/QUOTE]
