This made me depressed, mostly because my dad behaves like this. He's been trying to get my grandma in an old folks home since I was 8 just because he was recently divorced from my mom and wanted her house. He's given up on getting get he house now, still trying to get my grandma in an old folks home though
I don't know. My cousin had everything growing up. Access to every opportunity and was tauht to be polite. My aunt even taught me some of the finer points of polite behavior. (Ex. Saying pardon instead of huh or what). She still turned out shitty because of outside influences. She has 4 kids at 21 and only has custody of the latest one. She told her mother " you're dead to me"! After everything my aunt has done for her it makes me wonder if she is a sociopath.
Doing everything for children is rarely the right way to handle things. Teach them to work for what they want, and that life isn't fair, and to respect people. If she really is a sociopath then it doesn't matter how she was raised, she can't physically care for other people, and she's one of the rare few.
and now scares me into maybe not having children
