No, Parker. Your mother and you wouldn't have the wonderful relationship you now have IF YOUR MOTHER had allowed you to behave with her the way Miss_A HAS BEEN ALLOWED probably from the very beginning. If she is disrespectful to her mother and to some of us here, it's because SHE WASN'T TAUGHT how and TO be respectful in the first place!

At Miss_A's age, you can't blame HER! It's the fault of the parents 100%!! She hasn't been taught but she HAS BEEN ALLOWED this behavior, probably from early on!

It's beyond my ken how such a young child can be blamed for something she doesn't know because she hasn't been TAUGHT!
