What would you say bad parenting is?

I’m not talking about abuse, just what should kids have the freedom to do.

    kids really need too be disciplined. when they aint thats when problems come in. and dont let them test there limits. you need too tell them personally what too do and what to not do.

    -Letting your kid get 17 peircings before the age of 16.

    -Letting your daughter drink excessively.

    -Letting your daughter date a guy who is 21, at 15.

    -Leaving them at home to fend for their own food, and safety so you can go somewhere, like vacation.

    I’m not saying my parents are perfect, but an old friend of mine recently got into drugs and her parents know it…They found her stash of weed in her bag, didn’t speak with her for a week, then bought her a puppy dog. Her older sister’s already a high school dropout.
    I also know someone whose parents grow weed in their own house and smoke it with her and her friends.
    I suppose parents should discipline their children until they get to middle or high school; chances are they will be smart enough to make the right choices if they’ve been disciplined as kids.

    Bad parenting is when it is just too much trouble to Parent your kids. When you just don’t want to be responsible for them. Don’t care what they do, where they go, who they hang out with, because you are so busy with your own life.
    Not being there. Kids know. And claiming you are giving them life experience when you are actually abandoning them. It would be more honest if you just left them at a diner and drove away.
    Parents who claim their kids are ‘everything’ to them but are too busy for them. “I never punish my child” –ie I don’t pay enough attention to what they do to punish them.
    Parent burn out often occurs when young single parents have not got an adequate support system. Usually when the kid is about 8 to 10 and has at least one sibling and the single parent finally figures it out. Those kids are not going away and WHEN do I get MY life?? The parent is resentful of the huge amount of time the kids actually take and many did not get their teen years because they ended up single Moms. So they quit, they don’ go anywhere, that is against the law, but they just stop parenting. It is too hard, too many demands, too little reward. They may love their kids but they don’t care about them. They are overwhelmed and don’t know it. Juvenile law courts begin to see a lot of young offenders at early ages when parents just quit. “I can’t make him/her do anything. I didn’t know they weren’t in the house. They sneak out all the time. I don’t know where they go or what they do.”

    It is sad. But try to tell a teen mom that may be her future..she won’t hear it. Yet the seeds are in her fierce denial that she will ever have a problem with her kids.

    - Allowing your children to be so unsupervised they get into drugs, sex, alcohol, and other illegal things.
    - Encouraging your children to go about getting things / doing things illegally.
    - Having your children help you do things illegally. Like selling drugs.
    - Neglecting your children and making them fend for themselves. Like finding food, cleaning their own clothes.
    - Letting them go dirty for more then a day.
