[quote=Anonymous]Here’s what’s wrong with parents: they believe their DC can do no wrong. Take the blinders off.

Just returned from visiting family who has teenagers. Shocked at permissiveness; MS DD13 was allowed to go boating with a group boys on a Sunday. Missed school next day due to “exhaustion” but certain drinking and drugs were involved.

This parent has always encouraged (via social media) to be fashion forward, photogenic, life of the party type.

Parents are delusional. DH absent due to work.

Oldest DC got threatened with suspension for vandalism and trespassing on school property and was initially not going to be able to participate in HS graduation, have a fine levied, etc.

Instead of being horrified, surprised or remotely concerned about DS, parents started a letter writing and lobbying campaign and got most all penalties dropped. They ended up lauding DS as mature and thoughtful and the complete innocent in all. They wrote a big check to pay for damages and DS graduated. [/quote]
