I notice "some" parents are oblivious to what their own child is doing and only see the other persons child doing wrong.
Example: Fighting

I am quick to intervene and deal with my own children. I don't necessarily "blame" my children, but I do let them know that they need to be responsible and aware and respectful, and I am watching them. I let other parents know if they need to deal with their child, but their child is not my responsibility. I don't understand parents that ignore bad behaviour.

Most parents don't want to find faults in their children. However, I always found that a good reality check now and then kept everyone in line. I raised 4 children and I was always the first to say that my kids were not perfect. But my kids always knew that I would be fair before issuing a punishment. So if there was fighting going on, either with each other or some other child. I always made sure to get all the facts. Too many parents are too quick to jump. And more times than not, they blame the other kid. There are ALWAYS two sides to every story. But too many times it is just easier to believe your child is not wrong, than it is to search for the truth and deal with it.

I know my sons faults, and don't hide it. But my son is not, and never has been a liar. If he says he hasn't done something, then I believe him. He tells me if he's got in trouble at school when I would never find out. He's a good kid, but of course isn't perfect. I listen to both sides before I would put blame in either kid

When I was growing up the first thing my mom did was whoop us wrong or right if we were involved in a fight we got beatings. I wish my mom gave us the benefit of the doubt sometimes but when things go wrong it's not the other child's fault but ours.

I get them together and ask what happened but only allow one child to speak at a time. Then we decide together how the situation occurred and who needs to apologize.

I blame whoever is at fault, mine, yours whoever. No matter whose fault it is tho, how my child responds to the issue, the problem, that is my concern. Just because he/she acted the expected way does not necessarily mean he/she handled it the correct way.

If my son was involved, I'd blame him. It wouldn't occur to me to blame my daughter. She's the good one.
