What do you think about these rude children of today?

Question

I have a problem with the system in today's society. However, I was raised from the old school hard knock ways of life by some very wise folks that believed in morals, respect, honesty, dignity, and most of pride. These children today have no respect for adults or their fellow peers. That's why the world has so much crime, because the system says you can't spank your children, a spanking never hurt no child of mine, nor my parents 9 plus children. I look at these kids know days and just wish one of them was mine, because believe you me I would be locked up if one of mine tried some of the things that I see my friends kids doing. I have 2 grown children and 2 grand boys and right at this day you could not pay them to play with me out of order, less known disrespect me. They know for a fact that I would get ghetto fabalous on them and fold them up like a card board box in a grip of a minute

Answer 1

we are responsible if next generation is not doing well in any thing ... Make your self strong for future time

Answer 2

I can't stand the rude kids of today. Its as if parents don't have time for there kids any more. I am amazed about how peop[le are surprized to see polite children. I have 3 kids. 5 3 and 2 years old. They all know how to say please and thank you and they know not to pitch a fit if they dont get there way. But if you look at my brothers kids they talk back to there parents and throw them selves on the ground at scream when they don't get ther way. If any of mine did that it would be a swift spanking along with some time in the corner. If they don't stay in the corner then it is to there room no tv or toys until they stop there screaming. But that is how I raise my kids.

Answer 3

I take offence to this. I am 14 I will be 15 in march. I repect Adults if they respect me ( Repect is a 2 way streat lady! ) I have morals I am honest I have dignity and I have pride. I repect no one that does not repect me. I do not do drugs. I am a vrigin. I am also homeschooled. and I agree that parents can't spank children now a days is STUPID. I spank my nephews and neace when they don't listen I don't play that nice Aunt card when they do something wrong. And the reason the world has so much crime is because most of todays parents are scared to talk to there children. They tell them they can't do this or that and band them from it instead of talking with them and letting them know what ever it is they are telling them why they shouldn't do it and that they love them no matter what. My mother trust me she's talked to me about things when ever I asked she answered honestly I knew at the age of 8 years old about the facts of sex,drugs all that but yet I asked her and she told me thats what I love about my mom.

Answer 4

i agree with you. Today I went thru that and I find even my own children act out like when we say is crap. My oldest a preteen, wants to be like the teens that dress like hookers. My daughter things that fashion of today is correct even if its immoral looking. Kids as young as 5 cuss at me like an adult or talk in that stupid Ebonics talk or gang style talk like its proper English. As far as spanking, the governor of my state passed a law allowing spanking, but still set a limit. I hate TV of today that talk and bring up subjects that should remain in the privacy of a bedroom; I shouldn't have to explain to my younger daughter about a pill that enhances a man. Today kids and teens use the threat if you spank me i will call child serves, which in turns scares some parents, not me, let them try that, the child protective system isn't all fun and games. I have threatened to have cops come to my home and arrest them if they keep acting up. It doesn't phase me. When kids act disrespectful I say to them that they are disobeying not just my rules but also that which god gave to his children, when they disrespect me. Even kids who call my kids names I say they are sinning and that god in heaven will be their judge. Some stop, some act like gods wont do anything to them. Maybe later they will see the error and ask god forgiveness for their actions when they get older, who knows. One rule I know is this ask god to forgive ones actions, but also that action must stop or the request for forgiveness didn't mean what it said. What has happen to the words children?

One answer says it all take Christ from the home, school and law and all hell breaks loose. Hold strong in the laws of Christ and the teaching of Christ and his father and teach children what is right in god’s eyes and that and prayer all we can do, once they leave the nest. All we can do is pray that our teachings of the morals and the goodness that can be done be passed on and lived by the children we have raised. That they will know what is expected of them to live right and not allow the worldly surroundings to control their lives.

In the lords Jesus Christ and the strength of god the father amen

Answer 5

I take a moderate stance on this issue. I've seen parental control taken way too far, and as a result, I'm not going to say that chores and physical punishment are always the best way to go.

The problem today, in my opinion, is more parental apathy. Parents, for one reason or another, are becoming less and less involved in their children's lives. Now, sometimes this is an actual choice, sometimes it is just because of our two-income society, and sometimes it is because of something else entirely.

Daycare, nannies, and afterschool programs are no substitute for parental involvement. Ever.

Answer 6

my answer to you is that i am right there with you i am a mother to 5 kids and neither of my 4 older kids know how to behave they dont respect me although i will admit i do smack my kids if they push too far my oldest child is 14 last year i smacked her because she full on punched my 6 yr old in the chest bruised her and all the next day my 14 yr old come home with child protection they had the gall to ask me if my child was safe to stay in my house . now to me that showed my daughter that children have the power to walk all over their parents like just lastnight my 14 yr old told me that a girl she goes to school with who is also 14 is pregnant i was like if you even think that is cool i will soon take you to the docs and get you sewn up lol children need to be taught respect and and disapline to better themselves .For my two older girls they are enrolled with the Australian Army Cadets best thing i ever did for disapline hehe

Answer 7

Don't blame the kids the parents are the "parents" and they need to start being more involved in what they are doing, seeing and texting!

Answer 8

Hmmm.....I think you've pretty much generalized today's youth forgetting that some generation belonging to the 'old school' has callously made the mistake of being arrogan thinking, 'That' they're the only ones that's right. So you think, you'd get respect this way? I don't think so.

Answer 9

give thanks to our goverment and our war loving president ..look ever sence bush and his father been in office we have been in war with someone and war cost us to much money and cost of living goes up but our income stays the same so then mothers must now go to work to help with the bills and when this happens kids r doing whatever they want ,when they want no guidence the home requires a mother ,a working father and god and obedience....

Answer 10

How other people raise their children is really none of your business. And abuse like you suggest is not called for. I suggest you get educated about children's rights, and while you are at it, try a little upgrading as well. you obviously need it.
