It's their parents fault for not showing them any respect whatsoever. Kids, these days curse, yell, they'll do practically anything, ignore what is needed to be done, etc. I'm sure it happens to everyone around the same age group, usually around the adolescents.
I think that the fact that the parents at least kept their kids, is respect enough. That they bother to give them a home, a family, food, a computer, I don't know if you have any kids, but when you do, you'll maybe realise how difficult it is to be a parent and how easy it is to just give up before you've even started.

I understand what you mean, I was referring to their offspring, most of the time the children are unreasonable. But I can see where you're coming from, I'm sure parents don't want to feel embarrassed of their children and maybe even proud at that, but you get a feeling of responsibility and knowing most adults, they dislike having this sort of responsibility but it has to be done, at least for their children's sake.

I actually think that in some ways, it is the parents' fault. But only in some cases. For example, I see a lot of kids, especially in my apartment complex, who are so incredibly spoiled. I mean, I'll admit I'm a pretty spoiled kid myself, but these kids just...God. They really take the cake. They shout and their parents and walk all over them and one mom was apologizing to her son because there weren't any chips at home for his immediate consumption. O_o.

I hate to drag HP into every damn thing (no, I actually love it!) but kids who are raised like Dudley will feel like they have the right to do whatever the hell they want and will end up going against their parents' wishes. They're mollycoddled and end up walking all over Mum and Dad.

Parents will less often than not blame their childs problem on them or some other influnece. In most cases it is the parents fault. Maybe your kid is anxious and worries about little things too much. Purhaps they were fourced into being potty trained too early. If your child is scared of new things it might have something to do with them eating the same three things for dinner every day in their life.

Little things stay with children their whole life, and can help/hurt them in their future. This one little boy I worked with is afriad to mess up when painting, talking, swimming (etc) because his mother yelled at him for putting his jacket on upside down (he could never get it right, not really a big deal right, he's only 3). This may be an insignificant moment in the mother's life, but could define the little boys life forever. He may grow into a perfectionist, or may outgrow this trend in a few months.
