It’s almost like parents have taken a "stupid" pill or been lulled into a semi-comatose state or something. They let their kids walk all over them. Their kids rule the household, literally. If they don't get their way, they make life at home miserable until they do. They passively resist a parent's decision or correction by silently continuing in their misbehavior or doing what they want to do. Or, they ignore their parents as if they don't exist, or openly defy and rebel against them, even with verbal assaults, until they get their way.

Solving this is VERY simple. Parents need to take charge of their kids! They need to stop letting them rule the home. Confront bad behavior. Impose consequences for disobedience. Spank your little ones when they won't mind. Take charge of your home! It won't always be easy, and you may have to do it over and over again sometimes. But it's still God's way and the path to ultimate blessing for you and yours.
