Oh absolutely. Communication is required no matter what. It turns out my friend's parents were making their points very thoroughly at the time, but the brother wasn't listening so we weren't getting accurate third-hand reports of what was being said. If Griff's actually seen these parents in action, then no doubt he's right they are doing a crappy job. I thought Griff was relying on his daughter's reports of what her friend thought about her parents' actions.
