It is most certainly OTHER PARENTS.....and their permissiveness, over indulgence, ignorance, and general disregard for a value system that even remotely approaches common sense will do you in as a parent faster than anything you can imagine. You will constantly wonder, "who raised these people to think this way" because it will be so foreign to how you were raised and what you were taught. Yet, what you question them about it, they will have no clue what you are talking about. I couldn't believe it when my now 20 yr old son was coming up and I am getting a doozy of a lesson about other parents as my 12 yr old daughter moves from 'tween to teen. It's a roller coaster ride. Bring along the barf bag. Kristie, you are learning an important lesson…your greatest enemy as a parent will not be TV, will not be the internet and will not even be other children.

I couldn’t believe it when my now 20 yr old son was coming up and I am getting a doozy of a lesson about other parents as my 12 yr old daughter moves from ‘tween to teen.

It’s a roller coaster ride. Bring along the barf bag.

We see parents all the time who assume all is well when their unemployed, underage kids bring home high dollar items. Yep, there are a lot of people out there who reproduce.
