These parents have basically failed in their relationship with their kids. From an early age as young as 8 or so.
It is embarrassing. It’s taboo.It’s horrible to behold but it’s a fact. The kids “play up”, Refuse to move when “told”, and sulkily make the parent’s public persona a living hell. the more the parents threaten scold and shout the more the kids dig their heels in. They are aware that heads are turning, that people are going tut-tut and criticizing the parents. One might question why such inadequate ever had children in the first place and how inept are they at looking after them. There comes a point where the parents seem to lose all perception of self they enter into a hypnotic ambient world of big stick and little person a sort of drama oblivious to other people around them and what they might be thinking.
