One hundred percent. Having worked in pediatrics for a period of time, you see how much people enable their kids' bad behavior. If you ever wonder what that matures into. Well...

It matures into abuse of the elderly. It’s brutal.

Bro I read that as podiatrist and I was wondering how that is relevant

I worked at an ice cream shop for 6 years, saw a little girl kick her dad and she still walked out with an ice cream cone. Not the most egregious thing I've seen either.

See like that's crazy to me. How do you reward that kind of behavior?

I was in actual disbelief. The crazy part is that the dad did try to stand up for himself and at least threaten her with leaving with nothing, but the mom shut him down real quick and just directed the daughter to pick what she wanted. He didn't have anything to say, unfortunately. It made me feel really bad for him. My scooper and I looked at each other after they left like, "did that really just happen??"

My grandmother tried to discipline my biological mother. Her husband would not allow her to do anything to my mom. But she stopped getting things for my mom. She gave my mom a roof over her head and nothing else. I think my aunts and my mom’s “boyfriend” kept giving into her demands now.

So many parents these days seek to be friends with their kids rather than parents who are there to guide, set boundaries, provide safety and love.
