I've run into parents that just make me want to ask if they have even the slightest shred of common sense or common decency. :lol: Oh yeah, I totally agree.

When you treat them like annoyances or personal property instead of the intelligent human beings that they are, they don't learn anything from you except how to treat everyone else with disrespect. Respect them for being smart enough to deserve explanations and conversations and they'll respect you enough to let you know you're their best defense against the outside world. Of course, that's provided the parents have some good ethical standards themselves. Not all do. I suspect that's the reason for most of the selfish, bad attitude teens out there.
