And legal costs. Seeing as how almost half the award goes to the attorneys in most cases.

Funniest thing is class-action suits against businesses........The person who came up with the idea of the lawsuit typically only gets a pittance, like $10-50K, while his attorneys get millions. I guess some people suck at negotiating.

to let your kid get the chance to sue you at that age means you fail

Pretty much.

I think most people are focused on themselves these days, and haven't put much thought into the right ways to raise children.

:lol: is all I can really say...

I believe in personal accountability, but sometimes you just end up with an asshole kid.

And when the law steps in to stop you from parenting, how can you do anything about it?

Anyway, ill bow out.

You mean perhaps like taking away priviledges for bad behaviour?

I think my lawyer took about 25% after my car accident.

I wasn't objecting to that, I'm saying if they had a successful, "normal" parent-child relationship, the kid would never even think of suing his parents. That's just fucking stupid IMO.
