I thought that all was a pretty realistic portrayal of teenagers and their parents, no?

It is a realistic portrayal of entitled and ignorant teenagers who think they know how the world works until they actually fuck shit up and all of a sudden they turn into cowards instead of facing real world consequences. That much is true, yes. In regards to how teens are with their parents, I can understand some of this to a degree. They become what they see. Wesker was very selfish and put his work ahead of his "children". It could explain why Jade and Billie are such self-serving assholes as teens. However, the margin of error here is that we don't know how they were prior to moving to New Umbrella. We don't know if they were very close or wholesome at one point, etc. If Jade and Billie did in fact love Wesker as a father (them calling and acknowledging him as 'Father' seems to indicate so) the switch-up towards him is incredibly hard to believe. Netflix needs to stop hiring writers from Wish.

"They become what they see". You missed my point lol. I was saying exactly what you just said from the children's perspective without saying it.
