I understand that Jim but just because they love their child and idolize them so much they are never at fault. It does not mean that she is even a horrible mother but shes not a great mother. I would say the #1 thing you have to do with a child is be able to discipline them and keep them in check. I mean loving them and taking care goes without saying but other then that you have to discipline them or they will run all over everyone.
