#45 Blaming other parents for their kids' struggles...
Everyone has strengths and weaknesses-- we know this as adults, but when we see a kid exhibiting a weakness, it can be easy to want to blame their parents. Sometimes parents can contribute to a kid's struggles, but other times they might be doing everything "right" but the kid is working on his own schedule and not able to meet your expectations.
As outsiders to the family, we can't know the whole story, so it's important not to jump to conclusions.
This doesn't mean that you can't address ways that the kids' behavior affects you and your kids, just don't make assumptions about why the problem exists.
