“It has become a spare the rod, spoil the child world. Parents now want to be friends with their children instead of parents.....or parent, another problem.”
To a point. There are just some bad seeds out there, and even a super parent can’t make the kid behave. How do you reconcile a parent who raises three kids, two are successful and were model kids, the other an out of control drug addict. Obviously they were doing something right and the assumption being they used the same general approach to all three kids. Sometimes kids just have no desire to behave or listen to their parents.
You are absolutely correct. However, if your family is out and 1 child is causing a disturbance, all of the family left, or one parent took the child out to calm him/her down.
If that didn’t work, then the whole family left. I believe in bad seeds, no matter how great the parents are.
I believe the point of this article is not to inflict the bad seed upon the public.
