It should have been named 'Pampered Hostage'. These kids take the wrap for parents who, lacking fulfillment of their own childhood, suck the I.D. out of the baby and leave them empty and angry. Then they try to stuff the hole they leave with items of unful-fillment, toys, clothes, permission to do 'anything', except, the unspoken command, to do what you must to keep the hostage-taker (parent) happy, with whatever absurd trifling that skips across the brain of the thief (parent). Kind of like the fat lady who rubbed the kitty till it finally died and then picking up the empty carcass and wrapping it around her neck thinking it will give her warmth. Wrong!! The kitty who could have offered her love and warmth had been sucked dry. All that was left was her only defense, the hatred she felt for her warden. I'm no professional. I've just seen a lot of this and thats my opinion. I could be wrong. In a nice way I take exception to the title of the book. It should have been named ‘Pampered Hostage’.
