I think there are 2 reasons. First of all, discipline is practically against the law these days.Spanking will practically get you the death penalty. This "time out" crap doesn't work. I got whupped when I did bad, and you better believe I didn't do bad the second time. And I did not grow up to be a violent person, because I knew my "whuppin" was for my bad deed, not because my parents were violent. In fact they lived by that saying "This is gonna hurt me alot more that it will hurt you.". Add to that the scenario of two people working all days and these kids are free to run rampant as they please, it is almost as though the parents are afraid of the kids. Microwaves are convenient, but the crap made for them is so full of saturated fats, it is ridiculous. A kid has money in his pocket, he is not going to the 7-11 to buy fruit, no, to buy crap, junk, soda, etc. And kids have this money and do not have to earn any of it. It is just handed to him. I had to work for my 50 a week allowance, and you better believe I appreciated it. The future is looking pretty scary. A commedianne once said the menendez brothers killed their parents because they weren't afraid of them. If you read between those lines there is alot of truth there. I see these parents in public places letting their kids run rampant, disturbing the general public around them, and these parents are beaming smiles at just how cute their demons are. I once was being kicked by some 5 yaer brat, and when I commented for this little piece of crap to cool it, the mother (for lack of a better word) actually tore into me for spealking up. Back in the old days, If i was that little monster, my mother would have ripped me a new one. I am, to this day, afraid to disappoint my parents.

Technology. Kids sit in front of computers, TVs and video games all day, even when they're 'learning'. Chidlren don't know how to use their imaginations anymore because everything is done FOR them. What ever happened to imaginary friends, playing outside, making up games?
Bad parenting. Parents don't like punishing their kids- they'd rather be friends to their children than parents. Also, kids learn to be the way they are because of what they see- rudeness is rampant in the media, and in many adults these days.

fact is , alot of schools have banned kids from playing tag at recess cause they might get hurt, ********, let them run. All we did was run and play. we had no internet, we had atari and even THEN we spent maybe an hour playing that. WE rather be outside playing and running.
Parents are told if they spank their kids they will get in trouble.OH yeah really? I don't see anyone at my door.

through fact >ninety 5% of the stuff in supermarkets is junk foodstuff (even the supposedly healthful ingredients), and ninety 9% of folk are uneducated approximately how undesirable processed ingredients are for you. additionally, the less healthful ingredients ensue to be the greater value-effective ingredients. (i'm not a parent. i don't be conscious of why you're asking mothers and fathers of obese young babies. in the event that they knew why their young babies have been fat, they might have prevented it from going on.)

Video games, Internet, and satellite TV. There's so much technological entertainment available now that basketball and hide n seek have lost their appeal. :(
