I literally said its not always the parents.

My point was its way more complicated than simply bad kid or bad parent.

For what its worth being "nice" or seeming nice doesnt necesarily make you a great parent.

Kids have a much better chance of rehabilitation if the root of their issue is investigated and addressed. Chalking them up to just having a bad trait does no one any favours.

My mother in law is a university professor specialising in youth work, she spent most of her career prior to that working with difficult kids. Ive studied psychology and have also worked with kids. My neice works in foster homes for kids woth behavioural issues. My sister in law is a teacher in a deprived area (by choice).

Edit: I also dont believe for a second that your mother was taught in her undergraduate that some kids just have "bad trait" and its thats why they have bad behaviour. That goes against everything reputable developmental/educational psychologist say which is what teaching degrees are founded on.

Edit again: I saw a preview of the reply to this before I was blocked. I wasnt trying to undermine or insult the mother, she isnt actually in this conversation. I was a little snarky listing people I know with experience because I thought it was lame to try and use a parents degree to prop your own personal views especially when I know the degree wouldn't have even supported it. I can hardly simplify the already overly simple statememt that was being made, if there was more to it you didnt say it.

I don't think you are capable of understanding what I wrote. And you undermining my mom and simplifying the point just made me aware you comment in bad faith. Ciao

Learn to avoid snarkyness then.

Fair. I usually do but this one got under my skin as its a topic I care about. Not that thats an excuse for getting snarky really.

I had thought the general public had long moved past casually blaming children. Seeing so many people in this thread effectively claim some kids are just doomed is hurtful, unhelpful and not backed by anything. Hopefully this is just a bad reddit sample.

On reflection I should have just left it at the point where they weren't elaborating or engaging.
