"Affluenza"* possible here?
"You know how SP parents are..." I've heard versions of that line over the years from those are, or who deal with, politicians, teachers, and varsity coaches. And that opening line sometimes has been completed with a description that includes helicoptering whiners who rail against punishment and sub-A grades, and allow alcohol-friendly parties and sexual experimentation. Which means, I think, a lot of coddling and few limits. Is that a fair assessment? Is that a bad way to parent?
