Perfect parents

Do they actually exist? Certainly there are many out there that think they are perfect parents and unless you do everything the way they do things then you are not perfect. These people really annoy me! For example I was just reading a thread on Trademe where someone asked if anyone had ever kicked their teenager out of the family home. This mother had been having a terrible time with her teenager who would not follow any family rules and she had other children in the house and she was concerned for their safety. She sounded like a very caring mother who needed support and while she did get some she also got a lot of "perfect" parents who of course stated "I would never throw my child out of the house". Did any of these parents actually have teenagers? No of course not! I certainly cannot imagine ever throwing my children out but then they are only 2 and 5 - who knows what will happen when they are 16 and 19. I'm not going to tell a mother with a teenager she is wrong. I don't know her and I don't know her situation. I think some of these perfect parents should be careful when they say "never". I hope that none of us ever finds ourselves in a situation where we have to make a terrible decision like this but no-one can predict the future. Oh and then of course there was the person who said maybe the behaviour of the teenager was down to the poor parenting. While I am sure the behaviour of many children is down to the parent that is not always the case and once again people are just assuming. I have a friend who was always such a good child yet her brother was terrible yet they were brought up exactly the same and had excellent parents. Who knows why he went off the rails. Anyway that is my little rant for the day. As you can tell I am not a perfect parent - lol! I don't have all the answers and if someone asks for advice I will give them advice if I can and not abuse!

Additional note 2 days later - I feel like I am contradicting myself after my Blog about Erin and saying I would always be there for her yet saying I would kick my kids out if I had to - lol! I honestly can't imagine ever doing it but I know if I felt my life or the life of my other child was at risk then I would have to do it and it would be my last resort. Hope that makes sense!
