Maybe not.
But mommydaddy/sister/brother/wife/hubby/son/daughter (on and on) and Trying to Rescue the A from the pain and consequences NEVER changes the A or A's behavior.
The address on the package full of Pain and Consequence clearly says:
To: Mr. or Ms. A.
It does not say:
To: mommy'daddy/sister/brother/wife/hubby'son/daughter
Let the A pick up and open their own package.
