They were great parents!!!!!

why does people ask so many questions about frozen!?!

No I think they were one of the most horrible parents in DP history. I think they were horrible to not be mature enough to teach their daughter to control herself instead of trying to bottle everything up and hide it. For all of the problems that people have with Elsa, they all seem to stem from her parents. I also thought her parents were quick to judge Elsa as a little toddler for accidently hitting Anna with her powers even though they had no idea what really happened. Condemning Elsa and judging her before finding out the truth was only going to breed insecurity and self-doubt for Elsa. It also caused Elsa to grow up without physical affection and human touch which had a huge effect on her emotions and psyche. I thought her parents were just awful to condemn her to a life like that. I expect parents to be much wiser and more mature in their decision-making.

Anna and Elsa's parents were trying to do the right thing by protecting Elsa from killing Anna. That's why the parents had them separated from each other. They helped save Anna from getting hurt by Elsa again. What's wrong with that?

^Because they were wrong and they didn't stop anything or save anyone. Anna ended up saving herself. In the end, Elsa still needed to learn to control her powers and it was the parents job for her to learn that as a child with their help, instead of making her learn to go through it alone.

I didn't like them because they just made thing worse for Elsa. The Trolls told her not to be fearful and everything would be alright, but they didn't listen. Making Elsa and Anna's relationship suffer, and there relationship as a family.

they meant well and were trying to do what they were told was the correct thing for Elsa. they clearly didn't mean Elsa any harm. I am however a little miffed at how they didn't seem to care enough to find a better situation for Anna- not because I think she matters more, but because they had so many options with her, unlike Elsa, who's options were limited. although to be fair, they might not want her discovering she has powers and telling people about it or the fact that they're actually hiding her, and they might not find it appropriate to send a princess to a boarding school like a commoner, I don't know. but it doesn't seem right.

There are many bad parents in the DP lineup. Besides The King and Queen of Arendelle, there is Grimhilde, Lady Tremaine, Mother Gothel, and King Triton. And there are the clueless parents: Maurice and the Sultan. Then there are the parents in name only, as we never see them doing any parenting at all: The King and Queen of Corona and King Stefan and Queen Leah.

Not liking the King and Queen of Arendelle is not a big problem for me...because I view at least half of the lineup parents as awful, average, or just plain didn't have the chance to do any parenting.

^ Of course you know I completely disagree with you about Triton and don't understand how anyone could try to group him in with the likes of Grimhilde, Tremaine & Gothel. I don't like the Arendelle or Corona parents but I wouldn't put them in with the abusive parents either just because I don't like them. I agree Sultan is clueless but not Maurice. Don't see how he's clueless at all. I also disagree with you that we didn't get to see "any parenting at all" from the Corona parents or Stefan and Leah. I would say we didn't get to see as much but "any at all" is too extreme and inaccurate for me to use. :)

Admittedly, I'm a bit biased toward them because they remind me so much of my own parents (in looks and in personality). I grew up in a similar situation to Elsa's; I have a disability and spent a lot of my childhood isolated because of it, though my parents' reasons for doing so were slightly different than the King and Queen of Arendelle's. So I guess being in that situation myself makes me more likely to give the parents the benefit of the doubt and to try to understand where they were coming from.

Here's what I think happened: Grand Pabbie shows Elsa a vision and tells her "Fear will be your enemy." The king sees the men in Pabbie's vision attacking his daughter and panics, so much so that it causes him to misunderstand Pabbie's warning as meaning society's fear of Elsa instead of Elsa's own insecurities, but he's the one his family is looking to for answers so he makes a rash decision to "limit her contact with people and keep her powers hidden from everyone... including Anna". I think deep down the king and queen realized they made the wrong choice but they were so afraid of losing one or both of their daughters that they thought it was their only choice, so as undeniably misguided as their actions were, I can't bring myself to judge them harshly.

^ Personally I think it makes it worse that the king and queen realized they had been wrong and I believe they should've realized it when the gloves didn't work and her power came through them. She was clearly still not a teenager and still had time to learn to control it. They could've started training her right then and there if not before like they really should have when they met the trolls. That's why they have no excuses to me. They're the adults who are responsible to know the best thing for their children and they failed them.

The internet really does have people who view King Triton as an abusive parent. So, yes, I grouped him in with the other abusers, because he is one. There are articles written about his nasty behavior explaining his abusive tendencies. So, I most heartily disagree with you ( though I have indeed met other users in this club before, who thought Triton was "so great" for "protecting" Ariel from all attempts to learn about any outside cultures. All Triton did was isolate Ariel and make her sing for him and his populace. I don't think I'd call that protection).

Thank you. but I DID NOT SAY that the King and Queen of Corona were abusive. I also did not say that King Stefan and Queen Leah were abusive. Quite the contrary. If you will re-read my answer, it never says that at all. I grouped them under the category of parents "who don't do any parenting." That's not abuse or neglect. That is just--- they never had the opportunity: they gave their child away either intentionally or had her stolen from them--- and "therefore, their influence in parenting the child was nonexistent."

As for the King and Queen of Arendelle, they could have asked the blasted troll for "clarification" of what he meant by his words. Did they? Nope. They made an assumption, instead. And then they repressed both daughters and made them grow up in a splintered relationship--- all so as not to expose a family secret that "they were ashamed of." I file that under the bad/abusive parent category. Elsa is so mentally depressed because of being the black sheep of the family, and Anna has a tendency to latch onto any relationship she can. Neither girl is healthy psychologically because their parents did great harm to them, simply because they would not ask for clarification. Bad parenting, again.

:)

^ He's not abusive at all and anyone else who agrees with you online about it is just as wrong as you are. Obviously you want to stay incorrect about it instead of caring about being honest and accurate. I'm sorry for that. It would only benefit you to recognize the difference between bad parenting and abusive parenting. I hope one day you'll be ready to be honest about it, for your own sake. :) perhaps you should reread my comments because you completely misquoted and misunderstood me. :)

^Well, I'll have to stay wrong then...and I'm fine with that. ;) You're just as wrong for finding him a wonderful parent when he is clearly not.

for those giving arguments in support of No, i agree with them for same.

Wavesurf: No actually, I'm not. Your confusing opinions with facts. You are wrong because you are factually wrong about something that is objective. I am giving my opinion about something subjective so I actually can't be as wrong as you are, that's impossible. As I said before and as you admitted, you are ok with being wrong because you're not ready to accept the truth and that is your right to chose. I just hope that one day you heal enough to be honest with yourself and not try to use gossip as evidence. :)

i hate there parents cause i hate frozen. Now will someone answer my questioned?
my questioned is why do people put so many polls of frozen!?
