Parents of reddit, how differently do you raise your kids compared to how you were raised?

My brother dickweed's a drug addict and criminal. I know pretty much where it went wrong.

At every turn, my mother would cover for him. If dickweed missed school? It's ok, mother'd go in and smooth it out. If he cut up a bunch of decorations? It's fine, it's fine, we'll pay officer, no need to charge us.

When he stole a car and totaled it, she blamed everyone but him, and got him a lawyer to convince them to drop the charges. Same deal with his first drug offense - get him a lawyer, convince the judge to give him probation for two years.

I have seen her bail him out, talk him out, and connive him out of more legal trouble then anyone i have ever known.

He is completely arrogant about his choices in life. If you challenge him, you're an asshole. Talking sense to him is impossible because in the echo chamber of his head, the only person who matters is himself. And why not? All through his life, hasn't his mother been there to shore him up and fish him out?
