Repeat until your parents are at their wits end, and have run out of ideas.

We are all doing the best with what tools we have.

I understand that it doesn't always work. But, I was raised to respect them, and I felt bad if I disappointed them. Does this mean I was BORN with an innate goodness that just radiated forth, and my kind and loving parents simply shoo-shooed me and I meekly obeyed? Not by a long shot.

I find it funny that so many defend drama drama drama from one person who loves it, and bans others who are drama drama drama but for some reason everyone is like "awwwwwww, they can't help the way things are." Think marichiko.

Just sayin'

I don't buy it. It's like small dogs in tall grass jumping up to see what all the other dogs are doing, and following suit.
