Y&R news: Faith only pretends to be polite when she agrees to go out and see a concert with Lucy. But instead of being grateful, Lucy tries to impress Faith by getting dr^nk! -

Parenting isn’t often where The Young and the Restless shines. Chelsea and Adam have made every mistake in the world regarding Connor. Victoria is currently ignoring her three younger children in favor of the eldest daughter she just met, and both Victor and Jack have seriously screwed up their grown kids. On the other hand, on August 15, Daniel and Heather had a terrific conversation about Lucy and how to raise a teen who screwed up…without either ignoring or overreacting to her mistakes.

Background Noise

Lucy (Lily Brooks O’Briant) is new to Genoa City, and with school out of session, she hasn’t had a chance to make any friends her own age. So she globbed onto Faith (Reylynn Caster), who is older and more sophisticated.

Faith was just being polite when she agreed to hang out and go to a concert with Lucy. But instead of being grateful, Lucy tried to impress Faith by getting drunk. Faith wasn’t impressed. She took the teen straight home. Lucy eventually ‘fessed up to Daniel (Michael Graziadei), who grounded her. (Considering his past with Cassie [Camryn Grimes], he took the news as well as could be expected.)

You’re the Worst

Now, Lucy is locked in her room, listening to depressing music and declaring a hunger strike. (Except for cookies. She totally did Heather [Vail Bloom] a favor and ate her mom’s cookies. Because Lucy is a giver.)

Suppose this were Connor (Judah Mackey). In that case, you just know Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan) and Adam (Mark Grossman) would have stationed themselves outside his door, begging their little darling to tell them what they could do to get him to forgive them for being such monstrous ogres.

But, to their credit, Heather and Daniel are…letting Lucy sulk. And having a serious discussion — outside of her earshot — of how they’re going to handle their daughter’s lying and drinking as a team. (Chelsea and Adam would have already splintered at this point, each trying to prove to Connor that they’re the better parent and he should love them more.)

It isn’t often that Y&R gets parenting right. But when they do, they deserve three cheers and a pat on the back. More of this, please!

Parenting is a tough gig, and sometimes it feels like everyone in Genoa City is doing it wrong. Chelsea and Adam can’t seem to stop making mistakes with Connor, Victoria is neglecting her younger kids in favor of her newfound eldest daughter, and Victor and Jack have their fair share of parenting blunders as well. But on a bright note, Daniel and Heather recently had a refreshing conversation about how to handle their daughter Lucy’s missteps without losing their cool.Lucy, a newcomer to town, has been struggling to find her place and recently made a big faux pas by getting drunk in an effort to impress an older friend. Instead of overreacting or burying their heads in the sand, Daniel and Heather are handling the situation with grace. They grounded Lucy and are now navigating how to address her lying and drinking as a united front.In a world where Chelsea and Adam would likely be falling all over themselves to make amends with Connor, it’s refreshing to see a different approach. Daniel and Heather are allowing Lucy to process her mistake and are working together to come up with a plan for moving forward. It’s a reminder that sometimes the best thing we can do for our kids is to step back and let them learn from their missteps.It’s not often that The Young and the Restless gets parenting right, but when they do, it’s worth celebrating. Here’s to more moments like this where parents can come together to support their children and help them navigate the challenges of growing up. Let’s hope for more of these positive parenting moments in the future.
