The difference between a deadbeat parent and a good parent can sometimes be difficult to distinguish. Honestly, its your opinion if the parent is a good parent or a bad parent. For example, my opinion of a bad parent would be someone who leaves their child alone who is incappable of doing things for themselves. Also, leaving a child in the car with the windows up for a certain period of time is dangerous for the child. Also, in my opinion, a bad parent would be one that let their kids go out partying whenever they wanted to, knew their kid was sexually active and did't say anything, and a parent that won't punish their child after doing something wrong. This gives the child no respect for their parents. They will think they can walk all over you and get away with anything they want.
A good parent, in my opinion, would be a parent that spends time with their child. This lets them know you are always there for them. Another example of a good parent is to not be the "cool" parent. This example is more for the moms. THey like to hang out with their daughters and her friends and gossip and they dont ever want to punish them. You had your years as a teen so there is no need for you to try to relive them through your daughters. A good parent is one that will set boundaries for the kids. Laying down the law will keep your kids out of a lot of trouble and they will respect you for it!
