[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looking at adults, I think the two worst are hyper-coddling your kids so they never learn to be self-sufficient and break out of the nest. I know two families with adult children that have never married, still move home periodically, and interact with their parents like children/teenagers. Five total adult children I know and all ended up the exact same way. Objectively I think this is failed parenting and terrible, but in fairness those families all seem to love each other and don't have the awareness of how toxic it is. And abusive narcissism, particularly in mothers. Those are the adult children that go no contact and have trouble with their own relationships as adults.

Thinking more, perhaps these are both different manifestations of narcissism? Perhaps the parents in the first type of family are also narcissists, but loving to their kids so the kids never see their parents for what they really are? [/quote]

This sounds like it might be some version of Attachment Parenting? Where you breastfeed the kids until they're five, co-sleep with them. Never do a date night or let the kids out of your sight.[/quote]

We don’t do date nights because we’re poor. [/quote]
