i was watching something on the news earlier that got me going. it was about kids who end up f-d up because they didn't have the right up bringing. kids who become horrible people, drug addicts, wife/children beaters, etc, because their parents did it, or because they weren't taught better.
i agree to some extent that if a child is not shown love/respect/trust, they may not know how to give love/respect/trust.
but at what point does that become a crutch? an excuse for bad behavior? a cop out?
my husband was raised by a crazy mom, had a jack-ass dead beat druggie/boozer for a dad. suffered verbal abuse by both and watched his dad knock his mom around. yet my husband is the most well adjusted, sensitive man i have ever met. maybe more sensitive than i.
my dad was raised in a home where people were yelling and screaming all the time. there was no love shown. there was verbal and physical abuse, yet he is the most gentle man.
i am just so over people and their excuses. Lindsay Lohan is an addict because her family had issues. celebirty made Britney Spears a bad mom. suddenly every time someone f's up they blame someone else and then go to rehab.
i think they should go to rehab for going to rehab.

i feel the same. everyone choses their own destiny. people choose if they follow their leaders or if they branch out and become someone else!
I think the people that end up blaming their parents for their bad behaviors much later in life tend to be the people who have lower IQ's. I mean: think about it, when was the last time you saw a really intelligent person blame something stupid they did on how their parents raised them? Seriously. I think there are just too many stupid people in the world.
something else i thought of: say you are 35. you lived with your parents till you were 18. that's almost half of your life AWAY from the parents where you should have seen how the most of society behaves and tried to follow suit....good habits, courtsey etc.
I agree with you a 100%, my dad was alienated by his mom as a child and this has caused him a lot of internal grief but when it came time to take care of her, he made a choice to bring her to live with us. His brothers & sisters couldn't understand why he of all people did,but he said he didn't hold anything against her and would never turn his back in her now that she was elderly.
My dad has always been the most caring, involved father in his kid's lives, a total opposite of what he had growing up.
Blaming the parents is a cop out by society and people who don't want to be held responsible for their actions.
