Quote From: mswing10I've found some of the comments on this board to be very judgemental. Being a parent is very hard work, and an almost impossible task to get perfect if you've had poor parenting in the past yourself. These people have come to the show for help (even Gotti). Do you think they want their kids to do this? This is not how they dreamed it would be.
All they asked for was help and tips. These parents want to do better and should be commended for recognizing the problem and asking for direction.
So, if you are a parent with perfect kids...congratulations. Use your knowledge to help in a kind way - or not at all.
As a parent, I can tell you it was hard for me to ask for help. I did not want nobody prying into my personal world. Looking at it now, the decision I made to cooperate 10 years ago, has given me the daughter I always wished for. I pray all the parents that need help, and direction, ask, and accept the ideas from non-judgmental people. Kids, like mates, don't come with instruction books, 30 day return policy or 2 year no lemon laws offered by the state they were born in
Good luck, and don't be afraid to ask, there will be parents here that went through a lot, and not be judgmental.
