I hope the old saying when a man is looking for a wife he tends to look for women that remind him of his mother isn't true because if it is poor Parker is in for a rough life. I think in most cases a child does pick up habits whether good or bad from their parents. In Parker's case he has a good parent in Jack and a drunk in Carly so who knows for sure where he is going to end up.

Quote delite33: He quits school!(Only 16yrs old) Ths kid is getting so outta hand!If he were my child he would've been gotten a beatdown.


I totally agree with you. I was just about to post on this same subject with the title "Parker nees a good old fashioned trip to the woodshed", honestly! Sure, we have the bleeding heart liberal parents of "today" who take a "poor little thing" attitude towards rebellious, disprespectful kids and say "Give them space; they will grow out of it"..CRAP! Parker needs to have a few good welts on that disprespectful, irresponsible, spoiled-brat little azz of his. I guarantee you 100% that if MY dad had been Parker's dad, Parker wouldn't have been able to sit down for a month! Honestly, it is apalling how HORRIBLY this little punk talks to his mother. It doesn't matter how many mistakes Carly has made, she is still the woman who brought him into the world and it is beyond disgusting how he treats her and talks to her.

And what is even more apalling is how Jack and Carly reacted when Craig had Parker's car "stolen". One minute they are pissing and moaning about how out of control Parker has been since he got that sports car, but when Craig takes care of the situation, they really get down on Craig's case!!! Carly and Jack need to decide how the hell they really feel. If it had been me, I would have thanked Craig a thousand times over for doing what they did. Yet Janet, Jack and Carly ALL came down on Craig for simply eliminating what could have become a serious problem. Sure, Craig should not have bought him the car, but he ended up rectifying the situation.

All in all, Parker is without a doubt the biggest BRAT I have ever seen on daytime T.V. He need a REEEEAL good whalloping, and to be locked in his room for a month until he can learn some damned respect for his elders.

Well thank the good Lord Jack and Carly are his parents because I don't think physical violence towards a child is always the best way to go. I think Parker needs to be given some space and let him sulk for a while and when he comes out of it he'll be fine and probably want to finish his education. Nobody that is in love the way Parker is with Liberty is just going to get over that and move on with their life over night. It's going to take some time for Parker's heart to heal and in the mean time people need to cut him a break. Some people eat a tub of ice cream when they lose the person they love some people do destructive things but none the less they need time to recover.


You obviously have never raised an angry, rebellious teenager. And attitudes such as yours are the reason why there are so many destructive, out of control teens in today's world. Parents are scared to death to discipline their kids these days because of this attitude. Are you saying that a parent should just sit back and watch their chid do destructive things to themselves and possibly others because they just "need time to recover"??? Well, the only place they are going to recover will be in the E.R. or in a rehab facility. And I'm not saying that taking a stick to their asses is always the solution (my parents would disagree with that one...), but you can't just sit back and feel sorry for your troubled teen and say "well, he needs time.."

Good post. And as much as it pains me to post this, one of the reasons my shackles raise so high in this storyline is because Parker reminds me of MY son at that age. You would not believe how he made my home a horror chamber because of his rebellious and reckless ways. All because he thought he knew EVERYTHING and his parents knew NOTHING! His father and I were divorced when he was 3, yet we remained the best of friends and were always supportive of our son. I didn't do NEARLY the things that Carly did, yet my son put me through the same hell. I am not an alcoholic or a drug addict. I work for an attorney and his father is a retired disabled veteran. We did everything we could for him, but the way the world is today, good old fashioned morals and values have gone right out the door. You can't teach a headstrong, angry kid these things when they have their own agenda. I still say we should have given him a good swatting when he mouthed off at us instead of this "time-out" crap that does NO good at all with some kids!

That's why this storyline hits home. It makes me sick the way everyone molly-coddles this brat when he desperately needs some tough love. However, in Parker's case, tough love is a little late coming.

Quote keytonblows: I didn't realize there was so much violence directed at kids these days. I guess its just me and the way I was raised that leads me down a less violent road. I like what Jack is doing, if he made a big deal out of Parker droping out of school then he would be validating Parker's reason for dropping out which was to shock his parents and fight them on who knows what is best. The harder they try to push Parker to go back to school(i.e. kicking his but all the way back) would then make Parker that much more determined not to go back which could lead to him running away or worse. By showing Parker hey it's your life if you want to screw it up go ahead I'll still love you he is defusing Parker which in return will calm him down and he'll probably end up back at school when the fall term starts. They only have a week or two before school is out so if Parker is determined to fail or quit there isn't a lot you can do right now.



I'm sorry, but I have to ask you this: Have you ever raised a child? Or an angry, out of control teen who refuses to listen to ANYBODY who tries to help him/her?

It was a stupid move on Jack's part. Let me tell you almost ALL kids that drop out of school...never go back. It was a STUPID move on Jack's part. Man if EVERY kid that had their heart broken dropped out of school..we would need no high school teachers at all. What a ridiculous excuse! Shows he needs to race back to school, the kid has no sense.
Jack is an idiot, and Parker needs boot camp.
FTR, I wasn't raised in a violent home, and neither were my kids.


Great post! How many kids get their hearts broken while in high school? Getting your heart broken as a teenager is a rite of passage, sort of. That is no reason to become the little monster that Parker has become!

Quote coin_laundry: I'm not 100% sure but I think striking your child in the head could be considered child abuse. I'm not sure what the allowable amount of force in striking a child in the head is but I would think it would be a low amount of force, maybe like the head slap Gibbs gives Tony on NCIS.


In my state, you could get arrested for assault if you did a little head-slap. My son once got in my face during one of our arguments and yelled "F*** YOU B***H" and I slapped him in the face (like most parents would) and he called the police to me! The cop came to the house and actually asked him if he wanted to press charges and have me locked up!! For some reason, my son did the decent thing and didn't have me put in jail (oh my, how BIG of him!). Then the cop told him in no uncertain terms that as long as he was living under my roof; and that I was paying the rent, utility and grocery bills and providing a stable home for him, he had better show some respect for me or the next time he was called to my house, it would be my son who would be taken off to jail!

Quote keytonblows: I think Jack is a terrific father and could be even better if Craig wasn't always interferring. You can't make your child learn, when they get to the age Parker is you can try to force them to do something they don't want to do especially when you have a mother like Carly. Parker has already ran away before and if you try to force him into something he is just going to run away. Maybe if Carly gets her act together and starts to set a better example for Parker he will do better. I give Jack a lot of credit for not over reacting and for supporting Parker and listening to him.



I think the best thing for EVERYBODY is to LET Parker run away. Then maybe everyone would be happier and Parker might finally learn a few lessons about life!!

Quote new life: 1st Liberty was Parker one and only sex partner.so he has no clue what sex is yet.
2nd yu are right most kids that quit don't return to school and if they do it is at an adult age when they can't find any kind of job.
3rd whoever shot off their mouth about all Parkers money should shoot themselves.
4th his money isn't going to last to long they way he wants to spend it. An eye opener.
5th I can't beleive I am saying this but maybe he should go to boot camp or go to Africa for the summer and work with the people that are lucky if they get to eat or even in the USA where it is the same in some places.I said Africa because then he couldn't communicate that often and have no one to cry his river of tears on..God knows we have places in the USA that are pretty bad too.
I had posted before and had thought more about it and changed my mind some.



I think you have a very good point. I know this is a fictional story, but in real life you have a lot of teens like Parker. And the best solution in the world is for someone like him to go to Africa or a third-world country on a humanitarian mission and see just what a great life young people like him have!

I wonder if Carly contributed in anyway to Parker's state of mind? Of course not she is the perfect parent, doesn't drink and drive or do any of those bad things that mean old disrespectful Parker does, please give me a break.

Quote TO_not_Romo: Your right Jack is a good father, and Parker does need to go back to school and when he goes back you want him to put forth some effort to learn and better himself. I wish Jack would sit down and have a heart to heart with him and make it clear to Parker what he expects from Parker. I don't like the boot camp idea because I know a young man about Parker's age that got killed by the drill instructors running the place. Besides sending a kid off to boot camp is like saying we're washing our hands of you let someone else worry with you.


If we both live in the same state (Florida) I know exactly the case you are referring to because it took place in the town where I live, and there are a lot of facts that weren't exposed to the media at the time. Most people in Florida only knew what the liberal press wanted them to know. (If we are talking about the same case). Boot camp is for habitual criminal juvenile offenders whose parents have no control over them whatsoever, and this particular boot camp was a high risk facility. This particular kid continued to refuse to do as the drill instructors warned him to do and they followed the same protocol as has always been used. No other kid had ever died there before. If this kid had had decent parents, they would have advised the facility that their son had sickle-cell trait, but they did not, knowing full well the consequences of their covering up the truth. Further, his family received $5 million before the case ever even went to trial, and even then, the guards were found not guilty.

To go to a boot camp, you have to have committed multiple serious juvenile crimes. It is not somewhere that a parent can simply choose to send a child to shape him up.

The best thing for Parker would be for him to go to a moderate risk juvenile wilderness-camp type facility, like my son had to do. He came out a 100% improved human being!

My children were always well behaved because I was strict but fair with them. The main reason my children never acted like Parker is because I set a good example for them and I towed the line. I didn't get drunk and pass out, I didn't get a DUI, I didn't fake dieing, I didn't run off with a ciminal and abandon my children. So if a child is raised in a home with love by people who lead by example they don't usually turn out like Parker. To be honest the only thing wrong with Parker is the fact he is having to be the adult because Carly is always gone or drunk, if he had a stable home life he wouldn't be acting the way he is now. My parents took me to church and set a good example for me and I've done the same with my children.

Parker is headed down a slippery slope to abuse. It made me cringe yesterday when he was mouthing and being smart a-- to his mom. If she continues to cover for him and cower from him he will quickly become an abusive teen.

Carly is headed down a slippery slope to Alcohol abuse. It made me cringe yesterday when she made her coffee irish coffee and then went so far as to lie to cover her tracks. If Parker continues to cover for her and cower from her she will quickly become an abusive person of Alcohol and maybe more.

He's not covering for her because he wants to protect her. He's blackmailing her.
Yes, Carly's slope is slippery too!
