Maybe some - but definitely not all parents are failures. All along, we've always pounded it into our kid's heads:
Drive safely
Go slowly in snowy/icy/heavy rain conditions
Don't drive too fast... at any time
Take care in passing - never be in such a hurry that you're willing to die before you reach your destination
NEVER drink and drive
NEVER text and drive
Etc., etc. etc! (According to our kids... in ad nauseum! LOL)
BUT WILL THEY LISTEN??? Jimmy Buffet likes to say..."ONLY TIME WILL TELL." (And I highly agree with the poster who replied that teens/young adults often think they are invincible/immortal.)
We've also instructed them, both through example and words... about many life-issues: handling finances, relationships, God/church, and countless other subjects in life.
AND the two who are now grown adults have NOT always chosen to listen to our advice - despite our best efforts.
AND I don't doubt for a moment that the teen who still resides at home... is NOT always listening to our advice either.
BUT they can never say that we didn't inform them what the best/wisest choices are in life.
That is the way it goes... and in some way, the way it should be. Younger people have to make their own decisions and live their own lives... which includes dealing with the consequences of decisions they make and HOPEFULLY learning from any poor choices. And hopefully NOT ending up dead as a result of any of their decisions.

The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
