Children today
Well to start this I have to say right off the bat, my father warned me this would happen. Now I know you are asking yourself what the hell is he talking about. Well remember when you were a kid growing up in the 60s through the 80s? When your parents told you to do something or the difference between right and wrong you fought them at every turn. But in most cases they were right, because that was their job. You know teach you how to be a good Man or Women. Take on responsibility. But most of all knowing the difference between right and wrong. And if you remember when you did something wrong you were punished, spanked or grounded. Most parents did this differently. But never the less no matter how they done it you learned respect and just how to act and talk around other people. You did not disrupt school or carry guns to protect yourself. You either fist fought after school or talked your way out of it. Now it is gangs, guns, murder,etc. Gangs and guns,and murder, sounds like a video game right, but no it is real life. Now I ask myself one thing where the hell are the parents? Well no a days being told they cannot spank their children (Domestic Violence) you cannot tell the what to do because they (Have Rights). Teachers are teaching with one hand tied behind their back. They cannot correct the students because their are so many laws that protect students against, pointing them out for disruption, sending them to detention, and etc. All of life's experiences that helped shape our generation and gave us character. Gone. They expect cell phones, cars, rights and privacy. This is not a right it is a privilege. Like driving and owning a car a house and so forth. Parents have lost sight of what is the right thing to do and where to draw the line. Physiological annalist tell you to talk them to death, do not spank them do not ground them just talk them to death.
The one thing I can safely say is I am very glad my father spanked me grounded me and taught me the difference between right and wrong. He has 5 boys and everyone of them turned out living a great life raising great kids and still do so today. He turned out making us take on responsibility at a young age. Such as working, running our own business at 12 ,13,14 years old to buy the cloths we wanted. Music we wanted. And so forth. The point is we learned at a young age how to take on responsibility. Be respectful to others and to know when to listen and when to speak.
Kids now days expect everything to be handed to them. And then they will go through the rest of their life expecting someone to bail them out when they screw up. This is the decay of our society. From being a moral people to just being done right disturbed. Violence is up more that ever, kids are being mass murdered in school and out of school.
When it comes right down to it the argument is (who is the parent). Looks to me at this point the kids rule the roost. Parents are to afraid to stand up and be parents. Now it is better to medicate them come up with unbelievable new syndromes, and physiological babble. When it is as simple as taking responsibility and just be a parent. Not the parent bowing to a child but the child listening to the parent.
I am very grateful for the stern behavior from my father and also the correction he made to me as a child. My father is 70 years old and I even today would not and will never disrespect him to his face or behind his back. He made me who I am today by guiding my life and setting rules to follow and how to respect other people. All of us boys did not have everything when we grew up but we made due and what we wanted we worked for. In the lone run we turned out pretty damn good. 1 Ph.D. 1 Nurse 1 teacher 1 business owner and 1 engineer. Not to bad for a man who raised his kids before all the physiological bull shit and medication and syndromes started to become a shelter for a bad parenting.
We just need to redefine who is the parent and who is the child.
