[QUOTE="Sammie, post: 229097, member: 8657"] When kids don't learn respect and know they won't have to face consequences, well, there you go. Parents need to stop mollycoddling and start parenting better. And our education systems have gone soft too. I see all too many cases where the parent wants to be a "buddy" instead. Bad idea. No spanks for the naughty was not the path society should have taken. (These same social rules also apply across the pond.) But spoiled rotten kids are just a small part of the bigger picture. Parents work long hours (and often more than one job) just to keep up with the cost of living. They're not home to supervise. So who's making a nice dinner for the kids? People are moving away from religion, as who now a days even thinks about breaking a commandment? And I'd guess half the kids out there come from a divorced family and how many are spoiled rotten by each parent trying to score points over the other one? If a child has no fear of what his parents think then they won't care about what they do, as the consequences are probably not much to worry about at home. My dad scared the hell out of me and there were a lot of actions I didn't take because I didn't want to get whipped within an inch of my life and I also didn't want to disappoint my folks. A little bit of fear (and a lot of respect) goes a long way. When I'm out and about and see a little three or four year old screaming his lungs out or yelling friend### at his mother, I know things are out of control. Then these little sh##s grow up to be the "punk" who acts out in groups, because none of them have the kahunas to misbehave this badly as individuals. I've got to disagree on this one with you, More. It doesn't take a village to raise a child. It takes a loving and responsible family. [/QUOTE]
