I will never understand...

I will never understand someone using their kids to do their dirty work....nor do I ever want too. I will never understand having a bad childhood and using it as a crutch during adulthood. I will never understand sleeping the day away instead of spending quality time with your children. I will never understand involving young children in adult converstations, or burdening them with adult issues. I will never understand teaching young children adult responsibilites in order to lessen your own responsibilities as a parent. I will never understand how to play the role of a victim and how to take on a "everyone else owes me" attitude. I will never understand how to NOT constructively deal with bitterness, resentment, anger, or frustration. I will never understand fighting endlessly with someone in front of your kids and somehow expect them not to do the same. I will never understand how to be incredibly rude to someone one day, but turn around the next day and be nice as pie when a favor is needed. I will never understand developing an incredibly unhealthy, co-dependent relationship with my children.

I'm glad I will NEVER understand those things.
