Families can end up with parents who are weak disciplinarians and children who are strong-minded and hardheaded. They believe they have a right to be involved in all family decisions.
Children are troubled when they have too much control.
They trust parents to enforce rules that protect them. Often they equate parental control with love. Didn't care enough. As parents, we care, but sometimes we get tired of the daily task of nurturing good behavior. Or, we get frustrated dealing with the same issue over and over.
