[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ you need some more training.

The best parents in the world can raise a lovely kid….who is molested during a sleepover and turns to drugs later.

The best parents in the world can have a kid who has adhd or other cognitive issues which impact the kid making riskier choices.

The best parents in the world can raise a kid who is accused of date rape,’or shoplifting or doing drugs from peer pressure or in order to stay awake and study more.

Mmmmm...Let's take this point by point.

Point #1:  they aren't the best parents in the world if their kid is molested during a sleepover.  Why?  Because they didn't make sure the household was safe where the kid was sleeping over.  And the kid didn't feel confident in telling the parents what happened.  And they didn't get appropriate help for the kid.

Point #2:  they aren't the best parents in the world if they aren't appropriately supporting a kid with ADHS or cognitive issues to help the kid NOT make riskier choices.  Parents cannot be the "best" parents if they aren't training their kids to work with their abilities and disabilities.

Point #3:  they aren't the best parents in the world if they are shoplifting or doing drugs because of peer pressure or in order to stay awake and study more.

I don't know what planet you're from but your arguments are bad and your parenting must be worse.

NP with what you'd call high achieving "good" older teen and a young adult in college, and wow I so disagree with this point-by-point PP.  I think this PP does not have older kids.  To think that a parent can fully control an older child's every move is not realistic.

This is the same logic that would blame the victim of a rape.  "Well, she should have been more careful.  She shouldn't have been in this situation."  Only it transfers responsibility from the victim to the victim's parents "Well, her parents shouldn't have let her be in this situation"

One of the interesting things that the point-by-point PP reveals is that she sees herself as the star in her DC's life play.  That her DC's "goodness" or "badness" is solely due to her.

So, that aside, I don't know if the point-by-point PP has ever paid any attention to the opioid crisis, where so many "good" people; adults and kids--were turned into addicts because their trusted doctors prescribed opioids for things such as period cramps or an athletic injury.  [/quote]
