Answer :

Yup. It’s nuts. Parents and caregivers need to realize they are walking models for their kids. It’s similar to parents who hit their kids, then get upset when their kids hit other people… or parents who eat crap, then wonder why their kids don’t eat veggies, or parents who gossip and snark, then wonder why lil’ Susie is having social trouble at school…
