Why are children rude to their old parents.?

Answer 1

Kids today are just plain rude compared to when we were kids. When we were kids, society frowned on rudeness and disrespect a lot more than it does today. Kids talk to each other rudely and think nothing of it. It is normal talk to them. They don't even see it as rude. I have told my son on many occasions that how he talks to me is rude and disrespectful and he tells me, "Mom, I'm not talking to you any differently than I talk to my friends. You should be glad I am free to be myself around you.". That still doesn't fly with me because I am his PARENT first - his FRIEND second. It does tell me however, that kids today are around other kids who just aren't as polite as they used to be. The media provides many examples of how people are rude to each other. I remember Leave it to Beaver episodes, and Eddie Haskell, as obnoxious and conniving as he was, was still very well-mannered around the Cleavers, and Wally and Beaver would never dream of talking to their parents in a rude manner. Now kids have The Simpsons and other shows where rudeness is not only acceptable, but it is laughed at and applauded. It's a sad fact, but true. It doesn't mean we parents have to take this rudeness lying down. No siree, I fight it tooth and nail because I want my kids to succeed in life, and no matter what is "fashionable", you don't really get anywhere in life with poor manners and rudeness.

Answer 2

Various reasons. Perhaps they were not taught differently. Perhaps they are busy and the older parents have lots of time and feel they need more of the childs time. (and the parent sees this as being rude). Perhaps they feel they have to be rude to get through to the parent. Perhaps the parent should respect the child as well as the child respecting the parent. Perhaps the child is just that kind of person??? Perhaps the parent expects too much (or more than the child thinks is deserved) In some cases the parent/parents welcomes the child but not their spouse. Not good.
Your question is so vague. Would need more details and know the history of the situation to give a better answer.
Good luck.

Answer 3

Its a way of trying to ignite an argument which will make the children feel less dependant on their parents. Its a way of creating an independant identity when going though puberty. Growing up is hard!

Answer 4

There are a lot of family conflicts today because there is no communication between the family members. Fathers are busy in earning money and mothers are too busy in family tensions or probably too conservative to tell their childern that "I love you". As a result our relationship with our parents is reduced to an emotionless obligation as ae grow up.

We all need to realise that the true wealth of life is caring and loving our family. There is nothing more valuable then going home to a happy family after a hard day..think about it

Answer 5

Probably because the parents in question did not spend enough time in raising the children well.

I see so many well behaved children around me so I assume that the problem is not too common.

Answer 6

1.Children can take full advantage over only to their parents.
2.Generation gap.
3."Equal poles reflect each other"as children gets more or less same character as their parents,they gets rude towards them.
4.Basically most parents achieve their inabilities or failure through their children which they don't like.This makes children rude.
5.Nobody will accept comparing their qualities with others.Especially children wont accept.But,most of parents were comparing their children with others which makes them rude.
6.Over consciousness and slowness.

Note:But children who were rude to their parents will be more affectionate compared to others.

Answer 7

I beleive that children are rude to their old parents because there is too much of a social gap. (Example) Baby Boomers vs. Generation X.

Answer 8

They r rude because of what they see around them, in movies,TV channels etc.so much of violence and rude behaviour.especially in the serials.children tend to behave rudely once their demands are not met.parents too play a part by giving them whatever they ask for and spoil them. parents should draw the line and make them understand why would like them to behave .its better to talk and look at things from their point of view also.communication is most imp.

Answer 9

Children are rude until they learn that the parents won't tollerate their crap and decide to spank their butts or punish them. Most children get away with everything these days and it is making the world full of BRATTS

Answer 10

Maybe because the parents have not been gentle with them. If there had been a lifetime of kindness, warmth and gentleness to the children, they would know no other way themselves.
