I find it absolutely pathetic that people would be in awe to your comment. I'm 21 myself, but raised in the country where the old way of parenting somewhat still implies. People DO NOT understand the difference between a beating and discipline. beatings are out of pure anger, discipline is out of disappointment. Ive had both so i know first hand. I'll be the fist to admit that if my kid gets out of line that a back hand will be coming his way and if he still doesn't smarten up, life in my house will be hard for him.
That aside, I've noticed that my generation and the ones after are SO LAZY and disrespectful. I blame parents for many reasons and a big one is that they're pushovers. If I came home the next day instead of the 12am curfew i had, I'd get my ass whipped and everything taken away from me. There wouldn't be a warning, I already had the warning when the curfew was implied. Some people i used to hang out with used to get away with murder. Complete **** parenting by all means. I have a son who's 4 months old and I will not have him be another statistic like most of these ignorant children out there are..
I find it funny that when i was 18, I moved out within the week i GRADUATED(which most lazy asses cant graduate). I know a lot of my classmates haven't left their parents house, pay for their cell bill or any bill for that matter, nor have they held a job longer than they could hold a piss. I was sent 800miles away for work, week in-week out, at 18. none of my student graduates can say that they've moved to 4 different cities for work, they cant even say they moved rooms in their parents house because their too damn lazy to do that.
There needs to be a "like" button implemented on this forum site because this thread deserves a million likes. I feel the frustration like you guys because not only do i deal with these sh!t heads but i myself am looked upon as these garbage joke kids and its completely unfair to me and others that prove themselves to be better people than this.
Thats my rant! Great thread! Haha!
