[QUOTE="JES, post: 760363, member: 27416"] Adults tend to overestimate their offspring, we tend to believe our kid is very smart, yes, FOR THEIR AGE! Parents need to realize that kids are NOT their friends but children in their charge, and that discipline, is not something to TRADE with them but a NEED to help them grow up in human society, there wouldn't be so many kids being rude, being kicked out of school, or filling the courtrooms and Juvenal Hall — and/or being easy targets for criminals. I think the big wave came with the baby boomers that called their parents "old fashion" and swore not to be "mean" to their kids and not to deprive them of things. Nowadays kids, not only ignore their chores and still have TVs, computers, and all sorts of expensive things in their rooms but when they don't get what they want, many demands and threaten their parents and guardians… and they get away with it… sadly, if not stopped when young, many will end up committing even murder... Kids aren’t born criminals, it is natural that the child will try to get away with something, but it's up to the parents to put limits. A pitti that Jails and cemeteries are full of those who never knew boundaries. [/QUOTE]
