Parents Are Clueless

Yes that's true, even for those who actually like their parents. Well...for mine anyway. Granted, they're nice and kind and all that. The problem is, they kinda figure that kindess and providing whatever the child needs is quite sufficient. Frankly, I think they should learn to find the root of their childrens' emotional issues and at least talk it over. That is, if the children are even willing to talk about it. It's far worse if the children want to say something, but the parents refuse to hear it for what it is. Proper emotional support cannot be replaced by pure material support. I guess some should just learn this simple thing.
