Hae-In's dad is a classic example of an enabling parent. He made excuses for his daughter, never followed up with logical consequences of her bad behavior, and tried to smooth over what she did in an effort to keep the peace. This usually happens out of feelings of guilt and shame when previous approaches to parenting a child don't work anymore and they ask themselves, "Is it my fault? What am I doing wrong?" I pity Hae-In's dad for that feeling of inadequacy he obviously has, but that's about it.
