Is it that big of a surprize that your children dont behave when you do not disapline them? And yet the bad parents out there keep popping out the kids...Way to go...What is the point in having more when you can't control the ones you have?

Maybe there should be some sort of test to make people elegible to breed.

Michele, Yes, good parents have good kids. Bad parents have bad kids. Let me guess which you and yours fall into...

Angie...LMAO...I am guessing you hear a lot about the 'bad kid bad parent crap' for a reason.

I am a 41 yr old father of 4. All well behaved and polite children who would never throw a fit at Walmart. Children know what you teach them, and as a parent, it is your responsibility to do so. The first thing a child learns is how far they can push before you respond. Set those boundaries early. By the way, as long as I'm bragging, the most I've ever done is smack a hand or a single swat on the butt, I don't raise my voice, I use my "Daddy Voice", just like my dad, and my grandfather, etc...

Ok, so I guess only bad parents have bad children. Good parents have wonderful little angels that never do anything wrong?? Yeah, sure, ok. So, does that mean that just because you misbehaved when you were little that you had bad parents? Kids are just that.....kids. They are all going to misbehave in some fashion or form. There is no way around that. Kids don't come with instruction manuals that you can pull out everytime something happens and find out what to do next.
And BTW, it's surprise, not surprize.......discipline, not disapline. There's this magical little device called a spell check.....look into it. If that's too complicated for you, then I suggest that you pay more attention in spelling/grammar class.
When you have children of your own, I would love to hear about your experience.

Aren't you high and mighty? The last question you asked was why fat people don't respect themselves. Apparantly you have all the answers and nobody whose kids have an occasional tantrum or who are obese know anything.
Discipline is an ongoing process that is constantly changing. A one year old's discipline is way different than a four year old. Parents have to constantly re-learn how to effectively discipline a child because they go through so many stages. It's not a perfect system and parents and children are not perfect. It is ridiculous to think that children should never misbehave...they are not robots you can just program! You cannot "control" a child like you control a machine. Sorry, it's not that easy.
I assume you aren't a parent and when and if you finally become one I hope that your judgemental attitude comes back to bite you in the ***.

If you want to be frightened, watch Mike Judge's film "Idiocracy." The language is a bit rough, but it makes a good point.
I am trying so hard to be a good parent, but I have the incredible luck to be able to work from home, meaning if I have to have a nap while the little fellow sleeps, I can. I think perhaps thirty percent to half the "bad parenting" I see when I'm out is possibly due just to sheer exhaustion, like letting the children whine their way to candy or toys in the checkout line... The rest of it, though, I'm afraid there's no excuse...for example...
"Don't you wave your finger in my face!" shouted at the top of the lungs whilst waving a finger in the child's face.

wait a minute number one I am getting just a little tired of all this bad kid bad parent crap.
there is no such thing as a bad kid there are children learning to control their emotions their are children being left to pretty much be raised by complete and total strangers in day care. because men walk out or their responsibilities and oh my quit jobs to get out of paying child support so mom has to work.
and that little bitty two hours a day she may or may not get with her child she doesn't feel like beating the crap out of the kid makes her a bad parent excuse us
by the way My oldest is twenty a eagle scout has only had one sexual partner and has every intention of marrying the girl. Has never been in trouble graduated, out on his own and paying his own bills.
My youngest is 8 and well he is a holly terror same mom same dad it depends on the kid. thank you. reality parents spend very little time with their children yes. But it's like this they don't have much choice now do they. 22 yrs of marriage 3 kids 2 good one bad as you would call him. oh and a stay at home mom.
not to many of them out there. oops guess it's not the time you spend away from your kid huh.

I dotn think that having a "bad" child nessicarly has to do with "bad" parenting. look at what is going on in the world right now. some children learn bad thing at school from other children. some "bad" children have great parents and the other way around. it not always goes back to the parently style

I agree with you 100%...no one is teaching kids any manners, and no one is spending any quality time with them. And when they misbehave...the parents are always there to make excuses. The children don't learn a thing...

It's no surprise to me. Parents let their children get away with murder these days and then whine when they misbehave.

I see your point, but don't lump all parents together. There are plenty of us good parents, we set limits for our children and we do discipline them.
