Well when a chid does good the father goes,hey that's my child.
And if anything goes wrong the father comes back and say,hey you look at what your child has done.Better get used to it.That's the way it is.That's the tradition mothers spend more time with their children than fathers so I guesse that's where it comes from.No father would want to be associated with a misbehaving child.

Because children reflect the parents. Its not only mothers but parents. The common thought is that if parents are constant with their children "no means no...no matter what" the kids wont ask again and again and then have a freak out when they don't get what they want. If parents never sway from their teachings and rules, then the kids will understand what they can and cannot do. Parents give in so easily, they just don't want to deal with a naughty misbehaved child, so they just give in. Although, it depends on the age of the misbehaved child.

I believe that children are "reflections" of their parents. When children reflect poor behavior, they are reflecting what they perceive to be acceptable behavior from their parents. I don't think that just mothers should be blamed for this, as a lot of behavioral issues stem from father's who are either not there to model behavior at all, or are modeling the wrong behavior themselves.
I speak of the above in generality, but there are instances where kids will definitely do something out of character, usually trying to push buttons and/or in a rebellious stance.

Technically it is both parents. I know children can get out of hand and you feel you've done everything you can to get them in control. But, it really is the parents fault for letting them take charge and walk all over the parents! You have to be strong and be the adult! Let the child know you are serious! Alot of parents dont always follow through or are just always yelling and disciplining their child. You do not have to yell to show your authority! Take the time to have play time and make crafts and read and stuff like that. You want them to listen and have fun...there are many ways to do so. So, yes. I believe it is the parents fault all the way! Just in how they discipline, etc...

discipline is to weak now. Back in my day you could punish your child anyway you wanted as long as it did not abuse them. I know there are parents that spank and ones that don't. I respect everybody as long as their punishment works. Some kids spankings do wonders, while others just need timeout to settle down and everything is fine without spanking. I think people should punish in their own way without others and the governmental law getting involved and minding their own buisness. Spanking is not abuse. Timeouts can work if used properly. Let the punishment thing be. Lets worry about getting our kids off of the streets and away from all the drugs and crazies out there.

Lack of discipline can't be laid blame on anyone except the parents. Raising children is hard, but if a person doesn't take it seriously, it takes a very special child to suceed with a parent that simply doesn't care.

the parents are responsible for discipline. i can tell a difference between children who are disciplined and those who are not. my sister in laws kids are not disciplined. her 10 year old interrupts conversations, her 13 year old jumps into adult conversations,and her sons punch my kid and beat him down. i blame her for that.

there is a difference between "normal" bad things that children do and misbehavers that need to blamed on the people raising them.

Because it's their responsibility as a parent to teach their children proper behavior. Kids aren't going to learn by osmosis or by some psychic ability - they have to be taught the word NO.

because sometimes after awile they stop caring... about their actions i mean.... parents will always care about their child but ive seen some parents who had their door knocked on at 3am and they would say something like "what did he do now officer?" like it was no big deal. but it is also getting harder to punish children now because i heard of some cases where a parent spanked their kid and the kid got taken away from them.... so its not all the parents fault

Because parents let their children do whatever they want and let them run over them. They dont disipline them when they do something wrong. My dads wifes son, he is a hellion!! He does what he wants and his mom will just let him do it, he'll be running through the house and messing with stuff he shouldnt and cusses up a storm and she lets him, but my husband has got on to him and whipped him, I guess someone has to teach him.
