lol I thought you were gonna try like redeeming the parent or something at certain points but then it was just like "you're right they're terrible ..."
And indeed they are im glad you agree, anyone that'd say they aren't are just shitty parents themselves or they had terrible parents themselves and will try to excuse them.
I'll agree the mother is doing her best, the sad thing is that it looks like she's a single mom, and take in mind that they had another kid, that's just completely irresponsible and horrible really if they knew they had no time, the first one, idk an accident of their youth stupidity and love, but another one when the mom is always off working and the dad is some deadbeat piece of shit ? Just horrible.
Having another bigger kid and just thinking "well she'll take care of the smaller one" that's just horrible, you're robing the kid of all their time, as we're shown with this series Hori really doesn't have time for herself, she's a pseudo mom for the kid, that's just sad, is it like the worst thing in the world? I guess not but that still doesn't excuse it from being horrible towards Hori not really being able to have her own life cuz her parents are retarded.
In that same note just saying "oh my you're so responsible I'm glad we can leave the kid to you" in the way they know Hori is responsible is also very negligent in their part she's just a kid, she has her own life, and as we've seen she does resent them, sadly (for me) and happily for them I guess she's too much of a good kid to ever say it to them which just keeps the cycle of them putting too much pressure on her going.
I guess the dad just knew he really had no leverage to try and step in now after all this time hea been a sack of shit, good, cuz most shitty parents think they do on just the account of them being a parent even if they've never look after the kid, hey you came out of my balls I own you until you can support yourself.
So yeah like I had said in my original message they both seem like good people, but they're shit terrible parents, and Hori is just too much of a good person to tell them that.
If you're gonna have a kid just be sure to have time to take care of the fucking thing lol.
