You can hear it all, read it all and live it all...but every kid/parent/situation is different.
Sometimes the outcome is good....other times...not so good. There are no guarantees either way you deal with the 'trouble.".
If you don't have adolescents/teens/young adults of your own you'll never really know the reality of it all - good and bad.
Truth is there are lots of bad parents with great kids and then there are a lot of great parents with not so great kids....
Like brink says - there's no instruction manual.
