It’s not up to me to judge other parents critically, for the most part, and as much as I can – it’s difficult when you’re as near perfect as I am! ~ – I try to avoid negative judgments of others. I’m not going to say “this is bad parenting”.
Let me just say that the OP’s description is not the kind of parenting I tried (and still try) to provide to my kids (now in their 30s), and it’s generally not the kind of parenting I received from my most excellent parents.
For whatever reasons, and because of the incredible diversity of personalities, cultures and capabilities (not to mention disease or other defect that interferes with a person’s wishes), some parents can’t provide the same as others. I might suggest, encourage or seek to assist them to do otherwise – “better”, that is – but I try not to judge.
For the most part. The world is also filled with assholes, and this needs to be acknowledged as well.
