How to Grow Up Despite Your Parents

How to Grow Up Despite Your Parents

2016 · 90 min · ★ 6.8 · Music, Family, Drama

More and more parents take competitive behavior towards the teachers of their children: deny votes and programs, vaneggiano of likes, dislikes, and conspiracies. So, instead of helping in the training of their children, they become insurmountable obstacles to their growth. Presumptuously they think: "We know better than anyone else our children and we know what they are worth and how and what you have to teach."
