I think a really good parent should, at the very least, know how to model good behavior.

For example, you don't want to see, (as a child) a mother who shows you that laziness is smart, and demonstrates a hair trigger temper. You want parents who won't just verbalize what you should do and how you should behave, but will show you with all of their actions.

At the very least, if a parent knows he or she is falling down on the job, they need to send you to Sunday school so that you can learn good morals there.

Dan193 · 31-35, M

@4meAndyou I exactly know what you're saying. Some parents are just old kids that had kids themselves. And don't know any of that. Especially if they had bad examples as well. It's rough.

A good knowledge of right from wrong would be my thinking.🤔

Eyes in the back of the head. You don't always have to be facing them to know what they're doing. Oh and making sure they hate your guts enough to get a job and move out.
