True, but at this point I am searching for those parents/kids that do NOT act this way.
Example: Parent & 6 yr old child go to a resturaunt. The parent then ASKS THE CHILD what they want to eat!! WTF does a six yr old know about what's good for them to eat? The kid will say "ice crean and hot dogs" every time.
But when I talk to "parents" about this you know what they say? "I'm trying to teach my kids to make better choices." ASKING them what they want to eat or wear makes the kids think THEY are the ones with the "power" - and since their parents do whatever the kid says it's probably the way it is.
Not all American parents are this way but....have you ever been to a Wal-Mart? LOL!!
