If anything teaches you to do well in life, its having to scoop a lot of shit when you were a kid.
Here's my plan: I'm going to give my kid whatever they ask. I'm not going to make them work for anything, I'm going to give them everything they need without having them do anything for it. I'm going to listen to my kid complain and whine about all the injustices placed upon them and I will react in a caring compassionate and spineless way. I will not discipline them (for fear my neighbours and friends would think I'm a bad parent) in public or in private, and when the time comes I'll go out and get a job for them. I just think that kids these days have it so hard. I feel sorry for them. I mean, they have so many demands at school, and in the playground, and I mean, I am a single parent. It's not the kids fault. I just want them to be happy.
Does that sound like you? Even any part of it? Then SLAP yourself! and say "bad parent!"
