Crazy parents

    Crazy parents. Yes, sometimes you get one parent or a couple that has major “issues” unrelated to you or their children.
    • These are not common, so don't write off every parent that gives you trouble as “crazy.”
    • When parents flip out, don't take it seriously unless they are right.
      • If they are right, accept the criticism, apologize and learn from it.
      • Often, when they come down from whatever set them off, they go on as if nothing happened. You need to also.
    • We cannot solve whatever problem is causing the trouble. No matter how badly we feel for the children of such a parent, unless they are abusive enough you are ready to report them to the police, there is little you can do. Love the kids, listen to them, let it be.
    • “Taking on” a crazy parent will probably mean their taking you out. They can be quite vindictive.
