The mother, in particular, should be the sole administrator of parenting as she introduces the child to the world.
But, it is shocking when children are spoilt rotten to the extent that they lack initiative and effort.
There's a woman whose grown-up son is a loafer, making babies for the fun of it. And, the mother is responsible for the maintenance of his three kids with different women.
Seemingly, she is enjoying this as she wants to hear nothing of her irresponsible son. She is of the view that her son is a womaniser, like his dad.
If a parent supports a child's freewheeling character, then they're a role model for all the wrong reasons.
