By definition children are not fully formed and so are not responsible for all the consequences of their actions.
Children are uninformed, self centered mentally undeveloped monsters with raging hormones; barely sustained rage and a goal to strike out on their own to become individuals.
As a child grows up they start to worship their parents confusing them with gods, but for ever child there is a point called puberty when they become teenagers and become the enemies of their own parents. It happens and has been happening since the dawn of time.
Recent MRI studies and brain analysis of teenagers have shown that their judgment centers are undeveloped; they have some of the skills, all of the drive and little of the control. They are in a confusing world trying to understand complex social interactions when most people are insecure and unsure themselves. The result the default mode for most teenagers is for them to succeed by bringing down their piers. They don’t realize it is possible for a win-win situation. Instead they all feel that they are somehow inferior and to hide this they pick on and show weaknesses in others; using them as points of attack to drag the attention off of themselves and make themselves look better in the eyes of their fellows.
When a cat ‘plays’ with its prey it is considered cruel. To the cat it is practice and a way to sharpen their skills and rarely do they let the game go on for long. Teenagers are the cruelest creatures on earth with the unformed goal of destroying everything and everyone around them.
It is hard to raise children and most parents only get on the job experience with the only training their memory of how they were raised by their parents; a memory made hazy by their own childhood. This is one of the most important jobs in the world since we are raising the next generation and virtually no one doing it has the faintest idea of what they are doing.
Parents start off as near gods in their children’s eyes and over time that reputation and image tarnished and fads toward turning those parents into near enemies; with the often teenager response “You hate me!” I knife aimed right at the parents heart with a knife that is sharp and barbed like no other. The child knows it is a lie, but they are frustrated and lashing out in anger.
One of the worst lessons for parents to learn is that no matter what they do and know they can’t spare their children all pains of life and those children will make mistakes and refuse to profit from their parents guidance and experience. The child doesn’t need their parents pointing out their faults to them as much as offering solutions to correct them; even then they are not going to take their parents advice and can’t help lashing out at them.
One of the toughest issues in society is how to raise your own children. No two parents do it the same way and they resent any interference from society. In the US our awareness of child abuse has increased to the point that hitting your child in public is socially unacceptable. Sometimes a sharp correction is the only way to control them. I don’t advocate violence but parents need a little more freedom and supportive guidance in how to handle their children.
My dad had 3 kids and broke a yard stick on us when we were 5-6. He got scared and stopped hitting us and he still had strong discipline in his household. He was able to reason with us and correct us verbally. I was a good child but I have to admit one time he was forced to hit me because I was doing something stupid and careless. That was the exception though; I think he was a good parent and did a pretty good job, despite the tough going I had growing up. I was bulled a lot and had sheer hell in Grade and Intermediate school. It really didn’t get better until I was in the Army and off on my own and finally treated decently and as an adult. It was very odd to me and I had a few problems adjusting to it; because of my experiences as a child. My parents did the best they could do, but they couldn’t control others and they couldn’t control the bullying at school. I suffered because of it and I have problems that descend from it to this day, but I don’t hold my parents responsible for it; they tried their best.
I never thought of my parents as my enemies, but the last year in high school before I went to college was very tough and it seemed that my father and I could never talk without getting into an argument. He had a habit of talking AT me not TO and never WITH me. Mistakes were made on both sides and I was able to partially repair my relationship years later; but I was never as close to my father as an adult and it has hurt because now that he is dead I can’t repair that relationship.

I'm Sorry but many of the posters on here seem to have an average age of 14, so their attention span would be limited to read more than a paragraph in Teen text speak, don't take too much offence as Children would not know how to deal with such a situation anyway. I had a boyfriend whom I was with for 8 years. I always knew he had an interest in Trannies as when I first met him he had a deck of playing cards which had pictures of them on the top side, but it all became a bit of a joke, that he had a fascination, but would not want to ever actually be around a man with a Penis. Anyway, after returning from a holiday abroad with my Mother & Sister, I came back to his flat (we didn't live together) and for some reason I felt something was up. In his paper shredder basket were loads of sheets of shredded Yellow Pages, which I pieced together and found he had been looking up and circling the numbers of various Escorts. Anyway to cut a long story short, it transpired he was visiting Trannies for sex, whatever, I don't know, but I ended the relationship immediately. I think my situation was different to yours as you are in love with your husband, however, I wasn't and was at a point where I felt the relationship had run it's course. Now do you suspect your husband is Gay? Is he perhaps seeing these Transexuals because in his own warped way he is kidding himself they are Women even though he may not want a Woman? It's a difficult situation. I think you need to establish if he is actually Gay, which he possibly is but in denial. If you find he is then you can do one of two things, let him go to find what he really wants in life and move on yourself however hard it may be or you can come to an arrangement where you stay together but lead your separate lives, where you turn a blind eye to his activities. He might even change towards you in the sense of being warmer. You both need to talk about what is going on. It will be painful but I think getting it out into the open is the first step to acceptance on both sides. There is no easy way around it, but he needs to start being honest with you and himself.

Children ,generally , are not able to make sensible judgements as to what is right & what is wrong . WHY? Because they always want to do what they think is cool as persieved by friends (governed by peer pressure) & also they've got their own television & comic book heroes whom they love to immitate, whether they are good characters or bad ones. In any case children will always be children hence they need a special kind of parental guidence , care & attention.
Parents should on the other hand be sensitive to their children's needs & pay a lot of attention to sudden changes in behavior which might be sending a signal of a something that is not alright. Children neeed to be constantly encouraged when they are down just like adults do . They also need to be complimented when they do what they think is good (when they make a mistake during trial its not that they wanted to mess things up but that they wanted to please their parents) . Children also want to be listened to , to be appreciated , to be given positive compliments & above all - LOVED.
Every child's first & trusted teacher & councelor is the parent hence the need to make sure that the parent teaches & corrects their children in a manner that is as rational as possible .

Not all parents are like that. My parents tell me when they think that i am acting bad. And I change because they know me better than anyone. I think parents want their kids to be good and better citizens, so they openly tell them. The world around appreciate and just smile even if u do anything bad, but parents always find the faults in u and try to make u a better person every day. It is not because they don't like u, it because they Love u.
There might be parents like that. I don't know. But i speak from my knowledge about my personal life, and my parents aren't like that. But they trust me a lot and there are reasons behind it. And I hate to let them down. So whenever they tell me to do something or when they tell me that they don't like something about me, I don't get upset. Because they want the good out of me.
If there are parents who don't find the faults in their kids, I guess that those parent aren't a good enough. Because they are spoiling the kid.

I raised two daughters.....I was pretty open with them while they were growing into teenagers. If they hurt me emotionally I let them know it.....but ya know it only happened once. I think it is important for parents to talk with their children openly. How else will the child know. I loved my children unconditionally. Today, my children are adults & we have a wonderful closeness still. It is very important to love them unconditionally but be open with them.

Some parents can have their moments of honesty or anger and tell their children how they truly feel about their behaviour.
But forgiveness is natural with parents.
