Where is your proof? I’ve done none of those things. I’m law abiding and I expect my kids to be.

Because your parents are crooks. Most people would treat the minor stuff, like speeding etc, as just dumb and foolish, but most would also take things like false claims as they are: Theft.

Not all parents are what you just described above. Most parents set good examples for their kids to emulate. If parents do the opposite of what they preach, those are bad guardians whose kids should be taken away from them.

do as i say not as i do was the theory at my home growing up

Because they don’t want there kids to grow up like them.

Because parents naturally want better for their kids than they had.

But not all parents lie, cheat and steal. Yes, we are guilty of speeding, littering, ,etc, and that doesn’t make it right, but we always want our children to have the best and be the best. Is that a crime?
