Answer 1

Parents either don't know how to be parents or are afraid to discipline their kids because they will be arrested or charged with child endangerment or some stupid s**t like that. It's not like the old days where you could spank your childs butt for stepping out of line. Now you can't even atempt to spank your child in public or you can be assured ou will have police knocking at your door.

Answer 2

well it is not the kids fault it is the parents....people spoil their kids and don't discipline or they aren't consistant with disciplining them. kids need consistency structure and stability and there are a lot of parents out there that don't have any of that for them selves so how can they provide that for their children....so don't blame the children unless the child was just born with some kind of disorder that causes them to behave in such manner.....as for hitting children it shouldn't be done just because they are having a tantrum in the store or for whatever other reason especially when you are really angry with them because that could result in you hurting the child more than you wanted too.... not that i don't believe in spanking a child for the right reasons such as harming someone else or doing something that could hurt them but just enough to get there attention and when you have control over your own emotions.....then after spanking them sitting them down and talking to them and giving them a hug and a kiss and telling them that you love them....i hate it when parents spank there kids and then just ignore them.....i think that spanking should only happen when other disciplnary actions don't work and if nothing works seek professional help because your child may have a disorder or need anger management.....children only do what they are taught and their biggest influences in their life when they are young are their parents.

Answer 3

i'll admit, i'm one of those moms, i have an 11 year old. when we tried to disciple him when he was young, we lived in a 4 family building. once a month for 6 months the neighbors called the police because they said we were abusing him, and really all he was doing was throwing a tantrum. now, he smarts off once in a while, but has turned out to be a pretty good kid.my other 3 kids are good. we have cool neighbors now and understand that kids are kids and willl have fits and what ever else.

Answer 4

They don't discipline their children. That child is going to grow up to be a pathetic nothing. He's probably still going to be living with mommy and daddy when he's 30. People need to be more like my parents. My parents didn't spoil me. I knew better than to throw a tantrum for a candy bar. If that had been me, I would have gotten my butt whipped right there in the store. And I'm a better person for it.

Answer 5

Parents are too worried about being their child's friend and not "hurting their feelings." Kids figure out quite easily what they can and can't get away with and how to manipulate when things aren't going their way.
People always tell me how polite my kids are. Even at times when I think they aren't. Our society seems to have set the standard too low for our children.
It is all about not upsetting the children. I mean you can't even win or loose in T ball anymore- they don't keep score so no ones feelings can be hurt. Raising kids in a protective bubbble is only going to harm them as they enter the real world and make them bratty as a child when things don't go their way.

Answer 6

Because Parents these days do not believe in spanking. This day in time the answer to everything is ignore the behavior and after a while it will stop, WRONG it only gets worse. Parents think by not spanking they are showing love to their kids WRONG again I believe the lack of discipline is out of ignorance, I love my child so I discipline her, it will help her in life, you do not go through life getting everything you want. Also another thing that pisses me off is that now parents are not allowed to spank their kids, well how in the hell do they expect us to have control over our kids, this is why half of todays generation ends up in jail pregnant or dead.

Answer 7

I also have a child on the way.....he is a boy, and I have heard a lot of women saying that there boys dont listen to them they only listen to there dad. I will not have that problem because when he acts up there is no "wait til your daddy gets home"......if you act up with me you get punished by me. I cant stand when people say that spankings are child abuse.....I dont think I will ever use it as a first resort....but I can tell you that my child will get his *** worn out if its needed. I will not have my child, no matter what age, disrespecting me in any kind of way. My grandfather use to tell my mom and her siblings that he didnt care if they were 50 he would still bend them over his knee if he had too....he never actually did it but he also never need to...no matter how old he was my mom and them new better. Anyway to sum it all up I agree with you.

Answer 8

Those kinds of kids scare the hell out of me. I don't know why I'm not like that. My parents spoiled me but I never made a scene over anything they didn't buy me. They never hit me either.

I guess with all the news stories about kids being beaten to death or disgustingly abused, people have just stopped hitting their kids and try to appreciate them more. Or maybe their just push overs or bad parents who give their kids stuff because they don't know how to handle things.

Answer 9

Because parents are too slack *** towards their kids these days. I know if I had acted like that kid you described in ur question, I would had the **** beat out me for sure! Parents these days take a lot of crap off of their kids and I think that is so wrong. I mean, since when did it become abusive to discipline you children. I don't really agree with spanking your child (I believe there are more constructive methods to discipline kids), but I don't think that it's abusive. I agree that kids need to be disciplined more these days. I feel like our nation is in terrible hands because of this. It is going to be really scary when these kids run our country one day.

Answer 10

Because they spoiled their kids. This is very common in Western countries, where parents can't stand to see their children punished and simply give them whatever they want. Of course, the same liberty and freedom applies to the parents themselves: they have the freedom to drive wherever they want to, they have the freedom to eat whatever they want to, and they have the freedom to divorce whoever they want to. Indeed, it's a fundamental problem with the Western culture that yield bratty kids and useless adults. Just watch the show "Nanny 911" or something like that to see some more evidence.

Answer 11

well come on now if u new that every time you threw a fit and hit the floor screaming that you were going to get what u wanted wouldnt you do it. Parents these days are working to hard and when they actually get to spend some time with there children rather then going to the park with them they are taking them out and buying them things to make up fpr not being home with them.
