Parents in denial

So I'm at work, which means I'm bored. I'm sitting here reading the news trying to kill some time before I go to the dentist, and I came upon this story. 

This is my favorite part: "Then, yesterday, I came home from work early and what do I find? My innocent little boy smoking pot in the back yard with two of his delinquent friends." 

Please. Parents are ridiculous.  They have no clue and think their children are perfect angels.  Of course it wasn't his child's fault for smoking pot.  It was his "delinquent" friends.  Wake up!  It was probably the kid's pot.  He probably stole the money from the father to buy the pot. There is probably a huge stash of it upstairs under the kid's mattress! Christ he probably SELLS it.  "innocent little boy" my ass.

Parents are ridiculous.  They spoil their kids and create this cushy world where they get whatever they want, and never have any disappointments.  They manipulate every aspect of the kid's life, from sports teams to friends.  You didn't make the team?  Let me go down to that school and complain and stomp around because no one says no to my little angel.  You got in trouble? It's not your fault! It's your friends' fault, or the school's fault, or the cops are targeting the family.  It's NEVER their child's fault. 

These kids are not prepared for life.  That's why you have 21 years old kids acting like 15 year olds.  Because they lack the emotional maturity to deal with adult decisions.  I mean, what is going to happen to these kids when the parents die?  They are totally dependent on their parents, and the parents have raised them to be that way.  Big spoiled brats.  And what's worse is that they will go through life expecting everything to just magically happen for them.  And when it doesn't, they become drug addicts and alcoholics, or depressed and popping pills, or end up in prison.

Great job parents!
