If I had ever tried anything like "Trench Coat Mafia" or anything weird at all I would have been smacked down and tied up in the closet until I came to my senses. I can't believe what I've seen kids doing for decades now and getting away with it. WTF is wrong with their parents? Or are their parents just as bad in their own way?
From my understanding they weren’t really in any trench coat mafia, and weren’t really even that unpopular. A lot of that was fabricated early on. Apparently they were just psychotic killers, and that’s about all there is to it.
They aren't home.
There is such a difference between stay-at-home parents and SOME working out of the home parents. Their kids are scheduled but the parents are not in the kids' lives. On weekends and holidays, they are at a loss for what to DO with their kids. In stay-at-home and especially homeschooling families, we just operate as a group all the time and don't get desperate when the kids are around. These are our loved ones and we are a part of each other's lives. It's second nature. Hard to describe.
HiTech Redneck is a genius - “If I had ever tried anything like “Trench Coat Mafia” or anything weird at all I would have been smacked down and tied up in the closet until I came to my senses.”
If only these highly unstable homicidally inclined nutcases had been subject to regular beatings by their parents... this could’ve all been avoided!
