I do wonder if there's ever been a generation or ever will be a generation of kids that grow up and don't go, well at least I'm not going to make the mistakes of my parents.
I think everyone thinks everyone else's kids are annoying because everyone else's kids were brought up by parents that were trying to compensate for different traumas. The hands-off parents are trying to not be helicopter parents, and the helicopter parents are trying to not be absent parents.
In my experience annoying kids are always the fault of the parents.
I ended up garbling my comment on an edit, but I've fixed it now.
I meant to say that I admired the relationships several of my friends had with their parents, and I have always had a pretty good relationship with my own parents, so the idea of parenting has always been based on positive examples and role models in my life.
How would you define an annoying kid and what age range are we talking about?
I'm in a relationship with a woman that seems to have a healthy relationship with with both her mother and father, the two still being married after all these years.
I know that's the way it's supposed to be, but in my experience marriage is a very temporary thing, and rarely happy.
