Well while the ITV dramatize relationships a lot, but it's all reality. Plenty of kids are horrible (seen up close in my family) and plenty of parents are horrible as well however that part of relationships is never really explored on ITV. Then there is the fact that you cannot make drama based on healthy relationships. You need some sorta fu**kery for that. However one thing they can do to balance the equation is, for example while keeping some unhealthy relationships there should be some good ones too.
Reality is always stranger than fiction that's a fact. for example I remember that a son threw out his mom outta home during covid crisis, because he thought she had covid. Very much educated parents murdered their daughters thinking they'll be reincarnated as goddess or some shit. Wayyy too many examples. Interesting stories come from these instances only. nobody would be really interested in completely healthy interactions, the tragedy, drama, angst provides cathartic relief to people. Although ITV, or at least udaariyan doesn't do the job of balancing.
I will add my side too. I have many many male cousins. Literally all the parents complain about them and wish they had daughters like mum (i mean a bit )
So these things do happen. My mum hears shit about her sister's children everyday. I kid you not, even the the most dramatized sequences on tv have basis somewhere.
