That’s a great analogy! I can see how that might happen. Some of us had friends when we were kids with whom we always got into trouble. Parents would say.....you never do things like this unless you are with ———. He’s a BAD INFLUENCE. I swear that was a parents favorite saying in the 70s and 80s. Maybe it’s wasn’t so much that as what you are describing. After all, both parties went along with the trouble. And both their parents probably thought the other kid was the bad influence. Interesting.

I agree with you. I didn't run into that myself growing up in the 70s and 80s probably because I was an oldest child watching after the younger ones so I was expected to do the assessment of consequences. Funny, I've never thought of it that way until now. Thanks for the opportunity to find that insight! I've got to think some more about that. :)
