that’s it....lets blame the mom....
Sometimes parents contribute to their children’s behaviour....goid or bad
if the shoe fits...
The largest common denominator is the “single” mom factor. Mom coochie coos and coddles her kiddos, then gets up on her hind legs if anyone DARE suggest discipline and training as opposed to psychotherapy and drugs.
I say this as someone who was a divorced mom in the 80s and 90s. Most women do not possess the “discipline gene” especially if they are single parents. They tend to enmesh with their children, “teambuild” against dad, (parental alienation), feel sorry for their children (parent by guilt), treat their children as adult confidants, BFFing them (mini spouse), lob false allegations of abuse against dad in order to ensure 100% sole custody to guarantee maximum “child support” payment from dad.
Likewise they have few expectations of their children—its much easier that way and eventually becomes someone else’s problem when they can no longer handle the monster they created.
Sad but true.
