Are all parents in denial about their kids. It seems they don't teach right from wrong? Am I right?

Question

i asked because when i was a child no one was shooting up schools.. I asked because I know people who rationalize their childrens bad behavior ("It's a phase, "All the other kids do it", "they'll grow out of it")I want to know if more and more people are doing this

Answer 1

You could call it a form of social darwinism.
The parents that put the time into actually parenting their children... instilling morals, discipline and ethics... will reap the benefit of seeing them become good honest hard-working citizens.
The parents who leave the parenting to the school system and the kids' peers, will indeed get reap what they sow. They will spend more time hauling the kids to rehab clinics, bailing them out of jail, and probably supporting the little rats into their 30s.
It is not normal for children to cuss out their parents in public. Parents cannot be friends with their kids... it never works. Parents must be parents... authority figures.

Answer 2

You disappoint me. I am a mom, my husband died when my boy was 6 months old. I have raised him by my self. He is 18 now and has never been in trouble. He is my friend . You have no right to spout off about "ALL" parents. The parents I know - no, retract that - the young people I know over 20 (for you I'll break it down - more then you got fingers and toes.)are ALL good people. They behave better then you in that they don't lump people together and make rash comments . They help people they don't even know.They take care of each other and these young people are Atheist,Mormon,Jewish,Christian,Catholic and Wiccan ! They are polite, and all under the age of 19. I Have seen many of these young ones do things for people when they thought no one was looking. If you are looking for some thing to complain about why not pick on something that is valid ??

Answer 3

i'm a instructor and for the main area I trust you yet I even have regularly occurring beautiful infants from terrible mum and dad and terrible infants from beautiful mum and dad. Oh and a few infants who're beautiful yet have siblings with behaviour complications. some infants are purely much less confusing to administration than others and a few desire extra paintings than others. i assume some mum and dad are not arranged to put in the extra desirable paintings or are purely so annoyed that they provide up and supply in (perpetuating the topic needless to say). mum and dad searching for help (which contain posting on right here) understand there's a situation yet i think of possibly think of the solutions requiring action is all purely somewhat too plenty for them (as a result picking those in simular circumstances). once you have enable it get to the point the place your new child is out of control, taking action will mean issues gets worse formerly they get extra advantageous (all hell will harm loose like no longer something even those mum and dad have considered formerly yet they could desire to adhere to it and it's going to get extra advantageous if infants comprehend they are severe and consistant). perhaps you ought to place up a small parenting tip alongside which contain your grumble a week LOL. the thank you to advance 4 very properly behaved infants! by using how, properly performed because of the fact this is a stressful activity. i'm no longer a discern yet i'm a 2d grade instructor (I could desire to handle the behaviour of 20 plus pupils and that they are actually not even mine).

Answer 4

Oh, my parents taught me right and wrong, I just happen to disagree with them about what is right and wrong. They are Christians with very black and white conservative morals, so by pure logic and insight into the social world I have to disagree with their moral foundation.

Do they deny this? They don't know about it. The more strict parents are with their morals the more a child learns to manipulate and keep secrets. Of course, I'm an adult now, so when I do talk to them, I just let them hear the parts of my life they want to hear and leave the rest out.

Answer 5

Or... the first answerer is in complete denial about her twin daughters making your generalization correct!

But of course if generalizations were ever correct would we call them generalizations??

You have made a blanket statement which cannot possibly be true. All parents are not in denial, possibly most, possibly many, but all, would be virtually impossible. Secondly at least one parent must be out there teaching their kids right from wrong or you wouldn't be aware enough to know there was a difference.

Most kids know right from wrong. Even the ones who violate crimes know it is wrong. They may not care... but they know it is wrong. Maybe we should teach our kids what to care about instead?

Answer 6

Not ALL parents. Don't lump people into groups like that. I know parents who are oblivious and I know parents that are very in tune. I now parents who teach great morals and parents who let the television or peers do that job. There are a variety of people out there doing a variety of different things when it comes to child rearing. i don't agree with all of it... heck, I dont' agree with most of it... but that's how it goes.

Answer 7

I am not in denial about my kids. I understand their strengths and their faults. I taught them right from wrong. Obviously your generalization is incorrect.
