Not all jobless people are lazy, and not all highly successful people have put in way more effort than others that are not as successful. In the same vein, parents who have problem kids aren't more guilty of providing a negative environment.

The statement that bad relationships at home leads to problem kids, might be very true in some cases, but at the same time is very hurtful to those that have done their best.

Are we any better then our avos Yitzchak and Rifka shock

Who gave birth to a Yaakov and a Eisav!!. We try our very best yes, to give a child a warm home with the right haskafas and loving them (unconditionally)incl trying to give them the security of a loving home. But at the end of the day it is Hashem who decides. ANd since a child turns bar and bas mitzvah and then officialy becomes responsible for his or her actions , then it is no more the responsibility of the parent........

Beautifully said ,Tefila!!!!
I think it's quite arrogant to think that you can insure the outcome of your kids... you do your best, and sometimes the kids choose another derech...
