This was bound to happen, and it’s ridiculous

Very true, more parents should be like you. Unfortunately, I've known many parents who are completely fucking neglectful and when their kid fucks up or gets caught doing something they're not supposed to they look for anyone or anything besides themselves to blame.

I've only known one person who I could honestly say was a good parent. She sacrificed everything to give her 2 sons a great life. She did everything and only put a reasonable amount of responsibility on her kids to help out. She didn't date or go out, she sacrificed her own needs and basically was always working and active in her kids life. One of her son's was autistic and needed a lot of extra attention and care and the other turned out to be the most responsible and well adjusted dude I've ever known. I wish more parents were like her.

Dude, that was my mom, and with 4 kids. I believe that my brother and I, even more so than my 2 sisters, are the type of parents we are because of how my mom raised us. And I got beat regularly on suspicion alone (but I was always suspicious, so there's that) by her, and today, I could not be more grateful of the mom God gave us. My kids have never been even spanked, no so much as a slap on the wrist, and they go insane when I tell them about how we were raised.

My mom knew every single one of our friends and their parents, and they kept regular communication over the phone. It really took a village to raise a kid 🤣
