The worst parents are the ones most likely to sue.
Ironic but the worst parents have the best kids.
At rollerskating, my 9 year old daughter was helping scrape gum off
the floor. A mother ask what they were doing, I told her.
"Ewww! That's gross, she shouldnt have to clean that up, why would somebody do that".
"Well, when she saw them working on it, she volunteered. Someone has
to clean it up. And I'm sure some of the gum was accidental, most was
just spit out."
Mom, "Well, that's nasty, my girls aren't cleaning it up! They would never
do something like that! Thank God I have good kids!
Not really!
I have seen this play out so much, I have a line I love.
"Most people that "Have Good Kids",
don't!"
Good Kids come from parents who know their kids will screw up.
Look for it.
And address it in a manner that is remembered.
Many are so narcissistic that they just know, because it's their kid,
that they are perfect. Just like Mom!

I disagree that the worst parents have the best kids.
The worst parents that I've encountered have been abusive and/or substance abusers and many of their kids were as bad, or worse, than their parents. But good, better, best, bad, worse, worst are adjectives that are selected by someone passing judgement. I'm generally indifferent toward other people and their children as their very existence is of no consequence to me.
