Setting boundaries has never been modeled for them. Trying to ignore the situation is their defense system. It doesn't excuse their lack of discipline, but it does help me to understand why.

Kids are so smart. They know how and what to take advantage of, if you allow them. I've seen parents out shopping with their children and totally ingnoring their children as if they didn't even know them. The parents ignore their children so they don't have to deal with the problems. The children are running up and down the aisle's touching everything and there doesn't seem to be a parent in sight. Why can't some parents be responsible for the actions of their children and teach their children that there are consequences for inappropriate behavior. Parents need to step up and actually be parents to their children instead of trying to be friends to their children. Your words are very consoling. Thank you for your insight. MO Hi Richard,
