It's about time!

Quote From: cabocathie

This mother has to face the fact that she neglected these girls and did not give them any limits or any punishments!  She said she didn't know what the girls were doing when they were younger teenagers because they came home after she (mom) was asleep.  HELLLOOOO??? how can you go to bed when your young girls are out and you don't know where they are or what they are doing?  Mom needs to take the responsibility too for not being a good mother to her daughters.  Kids need love and discipline.  A parent can't let them come and go as they please with whomever they want and hope for the best.  I hope she is taking responsibility for her lack of discipline in this whole mess.  Kids will remember getting restricted or getting sent to a boot camp environment. leaving them on the streets - she could have been charged with child neglect or negligence.
I am so glad that someone else feels the same as I do.  Their mother decided to "check out" and let her girls raise themselves.  Now they are paying the price.   I am the mother of 2 girls 13 and 12.  I have to monitor everything they do without smothering them.  I have to say no to them when it would be much easier to say yes.  But that is what parents do!!!!   I wish more people understood that parents can't be best friends with their kids.

 I am the twin's Mother and I did not neglect my children!  They grew up with limits, punishments, discipline AND love!  Don't take everything on the show at face value - there is a lot of the picture that you don't see.  I DO take responsibility for things I may not have done right, believe me - I have fought that guilt trip for years, but no parent is perfect.  Remember, there is a lot to this story that you don't see!!!  At least I was there trying!!
