Is not knowing/understanding him or her. Children are people, not dress patterns. They are individual people with different needs, and every formula is not going to work for every child.

There are some children who need to be sheltered and ushered into the world slowly...others will implode if they're not given the chance to get out there and do their thing.

Bottom line, though, seems to be consistency. If you're going to do something with one child, do it with all of them. More than likely, the boys in situations like that may keep fucking up because they want someone to care enough to correct them like their sisters are corrected. If you care enough to call all of them on their mistakes, then more than likely all of them will grow up to be responsible, caring, mature adults.
