In the middle of the street with our pants around our ankles?

So basically the same thing as any other night?

On May 22, these parents should be arrested for child neglect.

Quote:

The three teenagers have been struggling to make sense of their shifting world, which started changing nearly two years ago when their mother, Abby Haddad Carson, left her job as a nurse to “sound the trumpet” on mission trips with her husband, Robert, handing out tracts. They stopped working on their house and saving for college

Wow, congratulations for fvcking your childrens' future.

“I don’t really have any motivation to try to figure out what I want to do anymore,” he said, “because my main support line, my parents, don’t care.”

Sad.

I just read that same article. I think they should be charged with child neglect. How sad for those kids.

I hope all these people don't commit suicide or something.

Mental illness takes many forms.

I don't see the college thing as that big of a deal because I don't think parents have any obligation to pay for college.

I'm more impressed that though they've likely been raised with this stuff the kids are independent enough to stand solid and say, essentially, "this is stupid."

But if the worst thing these parents have done is not pay for college, openly believe stupid things, and refuse to make summer vacation plans, then these kids are suffering from first world rich people problems.

Is there any estimate on just how many people are part of this movement? (you know, minus the snarkers)

That's all fine and dandy, except that the government DOES, so when these kids go to get financial aid, they're going to get screwed over, because part of their award will assume participation by their parents.

It does look like Mom believes in being well groomed on Judgment Day.
