I resemble that remark with:
Quote:
BLAME MOM AND DAD... they screwed the pooch here.
They OWN the kid. They feed the kid. They cloth the kid. They transport the kid around. They own the dwelling the kid resides in. They have plenty of potential interaction time with the kid on evenings, weekends, summer breaks, holidays, etc.
Parents are the living gods of their child's universe until they are no longer considered juveniles... and if god fucks up and drops the ball... what does that leave you with?

I'm at a loss here. Does the obvious need any more qualification?
Terms like "enabling through neglect" and "vested interest" and "active parenting" mock my minimal intellect.
Suggesting that Mrs. Dumpykins was assembling M67s in her basement is a little silly.
Of course we blame the child! Society has dictated that we can't cut off their heads anymore. Some other party has to take the fall, too.
What should be used to qualify said factors? I'm clueless.
