Wow you are really nuts. Look at how you just flipped out on me for pointing out your crazy talk. Instead of judging other parents like you know so much, why don't you focus on yourself?
Here you are judging parents while you aren't even a parent yourself. You can't even recommend a better method of parenting.
Also, you seem like you were raised by bad parents.

Typical troll post from someone who has nothing valid to bring to the table. But what can you expect from a Norma Shearer fan?! Crazy? 🤪 I'd say
look in the mirror sweetheart, cos you're projecting more than Jay Leno's chin
!
Where's the IGNORE BUTTON!? Tell you what the next time you feel like hitting one of my posts for a reply, do me a favor: instead, sit naked on your hands for 12 hours and then smell them and later describe the odor for us all.
Until then, ZIP IT SISTAH!! I ain't got time for your ****!

I don't deal in humans. My thing is animals.
But I've been a child. I know what's a good mother and that's the opposite of mine. Any more questions?
You sound crazier than you just portrayed Carol Burnett as being.

How badly did she raise her daughters?

Both crack addicts. One killed herself and the other just threatened suicide.
What's the common denominator here? Was she as abusive with her kids as she looks?
So what kind of parent are you since you're judging other parents. Also, what are you thoughts about sending children back to school during this covid-19 pandemic?

So YOU're donna, now?! Insane is right! 🤪
Imma call you "Paranoid Schizophrenic".
Look it up sweetheart!

And the insanity finally ends here.
Have a great night, Donna.
You asked a pretty question; I've given you the ugly answer.

I'm talking about her daughters! Well, at least 2 of them.
FINALLY!!!!!
Isn't it just possible that she did what she thought was right?
Kids do not come with instructions or an owner's manual.
I'm not saying that she was the model mother… whatever that may be.
Unless we were a part of their household, why even speculate?
Finally what??
Question: why butt in a thread when you obviously didn't bother to read the title, OP or any of my posts, except your pick and choose? for the rest, I've already addressed that. Scroll up, whip out your readers and actually… READ!

Say what now??
See daddy AND mommy drink, and you decide that you honestly want something better.
I never said Carol Burnett was a drunk or druggy! 🧐 Is that what you're implying here?
who is to say what Carol's addiction may be?
Where did that come from?! Can't you read the title or my OP?? I'm talking about her daughters! Well, at least 2 of them.

Thank you for this level-headed post.

Addiction is a party lifestyle and a CHOICE.
Well Carol wasn't exactly invited to the "party" as a kid.
She apparently wanted something better than what her alcoholic parents were giving her.
It's a good thing that she had a grandmother to give her some stability and structure in her life.
it is copycat behavior.

I understand what you are saying. On the other hand, who is to say what Carol's addiction may be? Could it be WORK?

PS: where did you get the old

Edit: LOL I remembered to put the word "cheers" in brackets but I don't remember all the words for animated ones. Is there some way to access them?

Whatever you say! As far as addiction, I am not an expert by any means.
You may very well be right about example in our families.
My parents and their friends were drinkers!
Makes sense.

I agree that one chooses to drink, take drugs, smoke

BULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL SHIT!
Again, reading comprehension sorely lacking:

1. I said it's a PARTY LIFESTYLE and a CHOICE! what happens to you as the result of YOUR POOR CHOICES, is all your doing!
   So don't you dare bunch up PTSD or other ILLNESSES together with a PARTY LIFESTYLE.
2. YES, people do wake up and think "I am gonna ruin YOUR life by becoming a drunk because I HATE YOU!" or "Imma party whoo-hoooo!" and **** everyone else! That they're too stupid, like smokers and vapers, to realize there are
   health consequences as THE RESULT OF THEIR POOR CHOICES
   is NOT fare for whipping out your "compassion" card. SAVE IT!
   No poor choices, no consequences here. Therefore it is NOT an illness. That they are medically ill as the result of "
   drunk
   ing" or doping… oh well! You made your bed that way, then lie in it!
   I have an entire childhood of abuse and torture. I have never doped or drank. Not once! It's all CHOICES! I have PTSD as the result of that = NOT a choice! I had depression so severe I tried to kill myself more than once = NOT a CHOICE. (I"m talking about the depression. The suicide attempts were my choices as the result of illness 'depression' that was not my choice).
   So please, spare me your bleeding heart: I would not have suffered through years of torture and abuse if it weren't for some asshole's PARTY LIFESTYLE aka.. THEIR CHOiCE.
   Once again: Case closed! If you can't understand basic English, Google it. But quit bothering me with your inanity. (Look it up!)

It is not a "FACT." In fact, if you spent any time studying addiction, which admittedly, most people do not, you would know better. But most people tend to get pretentious and self-righteous without understanding that there are in fact genetic and environmental links, as well as behavioural ones.
In almost all instances, there is a history of abuse and trauma on some level. No one wakes up one day and decides, "Hey, I think I want to be an addict!" anymore than someone wakes up one day and chooses, "Hey, I think I want to be morbidly obese, or a cutter, or depressed, or have PTSD" Not anymore than one chooses to be a diabetic or get cancer.
However, unlike the finger-pointing judgmental people thinking addiction is a "choice," I have a soft enough heart to have some compassion to people to extend empathy, as well a strong enough understanding of psychology to know of the link: Trauma.
It isn't about proving it. It's proven. It's about the fact that most people just don't care.
"Your emotional state is not my responsibility." – Warren Smith

Nope. It's a FACT. A medical and scientific fact.
The rest is wino and druggy excuses!

Wrong. It's more complex than that.
"Your emotional state is not my responsibility." – Warren Smith

You might be right. Maybe she did the best.
Addiction does not "run" in anyone's family. Terrible expression. Addiction is a party lifestyle and a CHOICE. It is neither a fridge nor a virus. It's been proved that genetics do not play any part in anyone's family health and that genetics do not determine if you'll have diabetes or addiction. Rather, it is copycat behavior.
See daddy drink, lift your elbow in the same manner. Mommy buys tons of can soda, bread, corn, pastries, cakes, cookies and sugary foods, eat the same way she does, end up with the same illness. It's not that complicated: diabetes didn't run after you, you choose what you eat and you end up the same way as those who eat themselves into a diabetes grave. Same with the CHOICE that is ADDICTION.

I agree

Addiction ran in that family, starting with Carol's parents or even before that. I'd say that Carol did her best.
You can only do so much.
