[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's mean parents.[/quote]

The few girls we had over seem to have good parents. They are academically and professionally successful. I obviously don’t know how they are at home.

The single meanest girl has two very passive parents. She is so disrespectful to her mom and dad. I’m surprised they let her treat them so poorly. We have seen the girl throw things, hit and have massive tantrums and she excludes different people on a daily basis. [/quote]

I'm familiar with this passive parent dynamic. where the parents are totally silent when their kid misbehaves and is unkind to them and to other kids.

I don't actually think these parents are always passive though. I think sometimes they display these same behaviors at home (are extremely judgmental and unkind, as well as demanding and rude) but because they are adults, know you can't act like that in public. However their kids don't know that and they have no skills for stopping it when it happens because their child is mirroring their own behavior. They can's say "No Layla -- you may not put down other kids" because at home these parents probably say this exact same stuff about these kids.[/quote]
