I agree very much so that kids are not born spoiled...but there is no excuse for hitting a parent. Kids today are not taught to respect and I think that is so sad. I think her mother has every right to try to hug her when she sees her child upset or depressed. we all need to make our children feel loved and cared for. I feel for them both. My daughter does not like me to hug her either...never has and she will be 32 in a couple of weeks. but sometimes I just want to hug her but I know better.
