The last two paragraphs are the most important.

>We loved the children regardless of what they did. But would not prevent consequences of any of their actions. We let them suffer consequences and would not try to mitigate the consequences because we saw them suffering. We would cry and be sad, but would not do anything to reduce the consequences of their actions.

>We were and are not our kids’ best friends. We were their parents.

"We let them suffer consequences and would not try to mitigate the consequences because we saw them suffering."

So I guess they wouldn't take their kids to the hospital if they broke their leg or something?

That sounds like child abuse.

Probably not. I don’t think even you believe they wouldn’t take their child to the hospital. What a pedestrian conclusion.
