[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The parents are stupid. What's easier, watching your kids at a park, or having to deal with the police?  They should be ashamed of themselves for their lousy parenting. I feel sorry for the kids. The older kid is having to act like a parent and the younger one is being parented by a child.[/quote]

It's called teaching kids responsibility.  All this handholding of kids has led to helpless young adults who can't do anything without their parents.

My brother is 29, parent of the millenial generation and 12 years younger than me so basically my parents dealt with him way differently than me.  They were helicopter parents with him.  I was a typical 80s free roaming kids.  My brother has been in arrested development, can't figure out how to wash his clothes, make a decent meal, open a checking account, budget, basic in depending living essentials.  It's incredible and sad.  All this handholding does have consequences,[/quote]

You can properly supervise and support your kids and teach them life skills. I am sick of the whole so called helicopter parwnt criticism industry. Kids thrive with emotional support and attention. While they may become more independent if you ignore them, it comes at a huge emotional cost. Just witness these Meitev parents, who care more about their internet parenting theories than actually protecting their kids from further problems. If they are so wedded to having a free range six year old they need to move to a small town.[/quote]
