Exactly! Without boundaries and consequences, children do feel as though their parents don't care about them or what they do. Through their behavior, all e of those girls were screaming for boundaries. They were out of control and they were scared of their lack of self control. Self control is a taught and learn skill. I don't know how they acted around other people, but it appeared they had no social skills either. They were just 3 wild almost ferel girls that lacked in every area needed in life to succeed and to be a contributing member of society.

The mom is a prime example of what happens when you only focus on the "light work" - toxic positivity. There is nothing wrong with ushering in the light and acting out of love but source is dualistic and both negative and positive experiences lead to evolution/ascension. "Consequences" would be learning from a negative experience. The shadow self must be brought into view and addressed, and these girls are acting from their shadow side because they have trauma that needs to be addressed. A gentle approach will not work.. They need to uproot all that has wounded and hurt and that doesn't look like lollipops and rainbows.

Why are so many Supernanny moms okay with husbands working away from home and leaving the children to be raised by mothers? That's bs! Mommy is missing the most crucial thing here, and that is that all actions have consequences., good or bad. Her job is to guude them towards the better choices and support them when they make mistakes, so that when they grow up, they will know how to make good choices and cope with the consequences of bad ones. These kids are just brats here, acting like toddlers. And they will have a very hard life if they don't shape up.

No consequences at all, no routine, an dad who’s absent and only there in the weekends.. sad.

The dad not being there is a big problem. He chose to work in another state or city.

[@d.n.8919]

Mom is too deep into the “woo” stuff (“spiritual psychology”), when mainstream psychology is clear that “authoritative parenting,” or parenting with boundaries and consequences but also with love, is the best form of parenting. Mom really needs to read up on the 4 main models of parenting because she falls into the “permissive parenting” category, which is not ideal.

[@MsLeahCEO]

If only these kids knew how blessed they were. And the way they saying the mom isn’t their biological mom is sad. The oldest has $5000 braces on her teeth. Kids with their biological parents can’t even afford that sometimes. They probably want to know who their real family is and that probably fuels some it this because there is no reason they should be cutting up this bad

[@tracywaites61]

As a teacher it would be a beautiful thing if our parents would teach the value of consequences good or bad

[@echeveria12]

OMG-- Just ridiculous. These kids are beyond spoiled, entitled, immature and disrespectful. Each of the parents need to grow a spine. Kids NEED rules, boundaries and consequences; if not, you are not preparing them to be functioning adults in the real world. What a sad situation.

This reminds me of when I was a teenager. It's a delicate time for a teen still a child under their parents' rules yet yearning for independence. Glad I made it to adulthood lol

[@Smurphy415]

I don’t think I have ever seen near adults behave like a little toddler throwing a tantrum, I mean they had to work ar getting these kids this bad. It’s incredible to actually watch a nearly grown girl actually have a tantrum. The screaming and hitting? She’s An actual toddler in a teenagers body.

Is the mother even thinking about what happens when these girls grow up, go into the world, have no inner discipline, no respect, and consequently will not fare well as adults. Doesn't she want to teach them that in the real world, there ARE rules for behavior, and consequences when the rules are ignored. So isn't it better to have the consequences when you're still at home. even tho 11 and 14 is rather late to learn how to behave properly, it's better than no training at all. In answer to the mother's concerns about consequences, DISCIPLINE IS LOVE!! and lack thereof is lack of love

[@binatitagain]

Bang on, I couldn't have summed it up better myself. I feel for teachers that have to deal with the lack of parenting too. Why are the parents not thinking of their childrens' ability to function outside of the family unit and in the future as adults? Your job as a parent is to equip them with the tools they need to be successful.

Love, love, love Jo Frost❤❤❤ Parents…..you are the initial seed that make or break your children. Simple…’you child..me parent/adult’. Now a days, it feels like some parents just want to play the good guy, shower kids with material goods and behave like friends to their children. Teach them manners, respect, especially for your elders, kindness, how to speak properly, good behaviour, consequences for bad behaviour etc. They will rule the next and then the older generation. YEARS AGO there was a generation that did just that, no books, no internet, nor spiritual psychology 😊. These two people seem like decent people. Just use use basic sense and basic values no mumbo dumbo. Thank goodness for Jo Frost. That beacon in the fog❤❤❤
