were ever school age kids. Nor are they 'parenting' without child abuse.

Parents, especially know the routine by their kids. The kids think they are master manipulators... when actually the parents can see right thru everything... but just not knowing how to effectively deal with it.

I know if I'd acted up as a kid, I'd have gotten a whipping from my mom while she was screaming bloody murder at me... followed with the admonition to 'just wait until your dad gets home.'

I was a good kid... well mannered, intelligent, and book smart. The 'dad' threat never materialized; my dad would say something to me followed my something funny and we'd both sit there and laugh. THAT would tick my mom even more!

Some things can only be learned from the consequences of the action. These magas are used to having trump bail them out, they don't think they'll ever have to pay the piper.
