Sly kids

[matrixmann]

Children understand if a protection system works to their advantage against adults.
Those who grow up in misery learn to not turn to them or that they won’t be believed anyway.
But those who grow up in ordinary circumstances - they develop understanding as well as will to make that useable for them in their favor. They can downright turn into Eric Cartman from South Park and try to enforce getting his Xbox back when their mother has taken it from them in order for justified scolding, staging it like a critical “violation of human rights”.

Kids like that tend to never grow up and not learn to respect boundaries.
Their whole world keeps spinning around their single ego.

Sounds basically a bit like the classic Italian upbringing. No fathers present, and mothers and grandmothers overproportionally present during upbringing...
And then people become wondering why the men who grew up under that rule are so demanding towards women as well as dependent on them like children. Incapable of living on their own.

Yes. That's a pretty accurate description.

Experienced it yourself? (If I'm allowed to ask.)

No, not at all my experience growing up. These are just my observations of the Mexicans.
