A parent's job when they have little kids at home is too make sure to talk to them with respect, do not leave dangerous stuff out that could shock, or cut them. A parent should also make sure there is food for them to eat, they have cloths on they're back. Having kids is something you shouldn't have if you are not ready to be there till god calls them no matter what. Us teenagers well in this 2010 parent's are giving up and saying stuff that really hurts, not being there as if we were little again. There is a big difference in raising a little kid vs a teenager. It seems that by the time we are teenagers they are tired of it all. Teenagers are coming in late, skipping school, doing things that our friends are doing. If parent's stayed on their kids like if they were little I think that person will come out different,or better do more in life over a kid who's parent's are there everyday or often.
