I think some Parents are afraid to be Parents and take the easier route of becoming "friends" with their Kids.

Out of our 4 kids (and 10 grandchildren), we have one daughter, the single mom, who is/was like that. Her son, our grandchild, age 8 is not allowed in our house!! His father and current trash can wife have made him a monster - mouthing off at his mother plus hitting her on occasion, destroying others property, sulking, having nasty 'attacks' when he doesn't get his way, etc. He has been taken to counseling, been worked with at school but his mom, our daughter is not consistent with how he is punished or praised. Grounded for a week for a major infraction ,that is, until tomorrow. He is about to be dropped off at his fathers for good.

Our other three kids/their spouses and 8 GC are fine, tho I am starting to see a couple of the youngest being spoiled - but.....and of course we help with that. But they are basically good, have manners and are going to grow up just fine
