Most of my simplistic view of feckless parents comes from several years experience in dealing with them.
Those who thought that set attendance times didn't apply to them or their chavspawn. Those that were so spineless their 9 year-olds ruled their households. Those that had never had to use a clock (never been employed) and didn't understand that timetables applied to everyone - I've seen quite a few but not all of them.

Feckless idiots TEND TO breed feckless idiots. The statistics are on my side.

To be honest, I don't know why I engaged with you in the first place.
To avoid doing a Chompy/Swipe thing that annoys everyone else, I've been happily but unobtrusively having nothing to do with you for a very long time and I don't know what made me change that this morning. I thnk I'll just go back to that.

Oh please dont!
I feel validated by your scorn and wish to sup from the pool of your Godlike wisdom.

Or not. YMMV
