Question

跪求the child , their children的选择

大家好,我想问关于这段话,为什么最后一句是the child和 the parents 作比较，而其它部分使用的是PARENTS 和 their children 作比较：

Parents are often upset when their children praise the homes of their friends and regard it as a slur on their own cooking, or cleaning, or furniture, and often are foolish enough to let the adolescents see that they are annoyed. They may even accuse them of disloyalty, or make some spiteful remark about the friends' parents. Such loss of dignity and descent into childish behaviour on the part of the adults deeply shocks the adolescents, and make them resolve that in future they will not talk to their parents about the places or people they visit. Before very long the parents will be complaining that the child is so secretive and never tells them anything, but they seldom realize that they have brought this on themselves .

说真的我也觉得很奇怪，完全可以从头到尾用parents和their children，而且这段话还有语法错误: 应该是...deeply shock the adolescents, and make them resolve that in future they will not talk to their parents about the places or people they visit而不是shocks。同一个主语的谓语动词单复数在同一个句子里面应该一致
