I absolutely do not think that parents who cannot see anything wrong with their children love those children more. In fact, I think that they are doing a big disservice to their kids by not pointing out the things they do wrong. I love my kids with all my heart, but if they are doing wrong they get called on it. Part of our job as parents is to teach the kids that they are not always right. Personally I think that parents who don't see anything wrong with their kids are just being lazy parents. They choose to look the other way because it is easier than dealing with the consequences. Our society has turned into one where everyone can just do as they wish, and it is only going to get worse as more parents choose not to see their children realistically.

Alot of the others have made some great points on the reasoning of parents. I think it could aslo be due to the way some were raised. If they were raised strictly then they may not want to be so strict with their children and so they let alot of things slide that should be corrected or atleast talked about why it is wrong what they did. they are other ways to correct a child besides violence or spanking. Some parents just don't want to deal with the hassle of a tantrum or worse. Nothing worse then a screaming kid while your trying to shop and they are throwing a tantrum and trying to pull things off the shelves or worse run out of the store while your in the process of checking out or paying. I know kids aren't perfect. I know they need some form of disipline andsome just don't want to deal with it or they arer wrapped up in their own little world and really don't carre as long as they are left alone they don't care where or what their kid is. It also has alot to do with society and the way they tell parents not to disipline their children, they can and the school can but parents can't. Also the way a child sometimes acts is a reflection of ourselves and the way we are. They learn from us. Dr.Phil said if we don't like how are children act then we should take a step back and look at how we areselves act because we are the teachers of our kids we don't want them to learn something we shouldn't do it ourselves.

Yeah that is true, but it is hard for low income families to get the assistance they may need for that particular kind of counseling.

If parents saw wrong in their children, then it would be down to their upbringing which would mean the parents would be at fault and no parents wants to feel they've brought up their children wrongly so will never admit that their children do wrong. Sometimes parents are blind to their own children's faults and will often make excuses for them and will use any other person or thing to blame rather than setting the blame at their own front door. It's natural in mothers to defend their children and will protect them even if they know deep down that their children are monsters or are bad.

Hello wolfie34, Thanks very much for the response and you have added a very important point and its very much true that some mothers really defend their child and the child

I think that is because of the love. Usually parents who can see their children's mistakes, that is because they spoil their children. I don't agree to it. The true love is to help the children to correct their faults. Accept it and not to make the same mistakes again.

This is because, if they agreee for their childrens faults it resemblances their behaviour. Parents generally doesn't consider any wrong with their children not only of love on them. Childrens are what of the images of their parents. Every child and his total behaviour is what the part of their parents psychological and social nature. that is the reason some of children become evil than others.

I used to babysit for a almost 5 year old boy for my ex boyfriend that drove me crazy. At his age he was still not talking and not using the potty and screaming worse than a newborn. When I would mention to my ex that the boy needed guidance not just babying he would mimick the way I grew up and say well it didn't do me any good. GRRR he was mentally abusive however but it bothered me how he treated his little kid like he was an adult and treated me like I was a child. I could never really figure out why he would rather point the finger at me than the real problem, his child needed help. Its more abusive to allow your kids to be whinny brats and treat everyone with disrespect than it is to discipline the child. Because you are introducing them to the world, if you really love your child you will show them the proper ways to act.

Hello dear humbleme. I think that if the parents do not see anything wrong in their own children, it will not be good to the growth of their children. If the children are never pointed out about their mistakes, they will never know that and will go on making the same mistakes repeatedly without their knowing about it. No one is perfect and it is very natural for one to make mistakes...

Parents that can't see wrong in their own children are unfair in their own life. They are by all means "Self Centered" parents. So watch out, sit back and press "play."
