Right now it just sounds to me like a description of parents who want to be their children's BFF's, instead of being their parents. Which is actually a great way of being manipulated (people underestimate how intelligent children are). Also, as bad as it may sound, some children can be quite unloveable even before they reach adulthood. More often than not, it comes down to how their parents discipline them, which is to say they don't at all. This “unconditional parenting” needs a more detailed explanation.
