2026While “there is no bright line beyond which a parent’s conduct meets this standard[,]” Boseman v. Jarrell, 364 N.C. 537, 549 (2010), “the [parent’s] acts are not required to be ‘bad acts’ that would endanger the children[,]” Heatzig v. MacLean, 191 N.C. App. 451, 455 (2008) (emphasis omitted).

2024And because “there is no bright line beyond which a parent’s conduct meets this standard,” Boseman, 364 N.C. at 549 , all allegedly inconsistent conduct “must be viewed on a case-by-case basis.” Owenby, 357 N.C. at 147 (quoting Price, 346 N.C. at 79 ).

2024And because “there is no bright line beyond which a parent’s conduct meets this standard,” Boseman, 364 N.C. at 549 , all allegedly inconsistent conduct “must be viewed on a case-by-case basis.” Owenby, 357 N.C. at 147 (quoting Price, 346 N.C. at 79 ).

2018As we explained in Price [ v. Howard , 346 N.C. 68 , 79, 484 S.E.2d 528 , 534 (1997) ], conduct rising to the 'statutory level warranting termination of parental rights' is unnecessary.
