Parents no longer have the ability to be responsible for their children, even if they wanted to
Sure they do. People might say poo on the net, or on talk shows, but they don't have any power over how you raise your kids.
So many people talk about how they are "no longer allowed to discipline their kids" but there isn't any law against it.
Do what you think is right, and let the gossipmongers talk. They will anyway.
I agree with that to a point, but there are people out there, who cannot mind their own business, and like to get "authorities" involved.
on another thread someone complained about new neighbours..who allowed their children to roam the streets at all hours they would walk into the persons home uninvited the parents would scream and swear at the kids..who sounded as if they were running wild...I suggested dobbing them in to DOCs..just so they could be checked out.. more wasnt going on....like not attending school that sort of thing.. I was howled down for daring to think like that... what is wrong with allowing kids freedom to run the streets..and enter strangers homes.....
in this day and age someone thought it was ok for kids to enter homes of strangers and be sworn at constantly by said parents......
so who knows whats right anymore....I remember reading about Dubbo which went through a terrible time a few years ago because the children were running wild and even setting houses on fire for fun....
What is right, in my opinion, is having a reasonable balance. Don't be too harsh, but don't be too soft either.
The problem occurs when those in the do-gooder extremist camps equate a simple smack on the backside as severe child abuse.
I'm not a mother though, so I probably don't have any say. I just observe that children are increasingly "naughty" and teenagers have absolutely no respect whatsoever. They have their "schoolies" parties and trash people's houses, walk the streets like drunken idiots and abuse people. But nobody dare say anything, or else you'll get "How f---ing dare you ruin my schoolies!!!" and as such.
What you experience in early life you carry on into adulthood. Now adults are stupid and have no responsibility, and raise their children to be pretty much the same thing. It's like a disease, but nobody is responsible any more. It's always somebody else's fault.
So in that example you have given me cods, I would advise getting the "authorities" involved, because that is something that shouldn't be able to slide. If kids just walked into my home like that I would probably smack them out
but who would get in trouble? ME, condemned by the do-gooder extremists because I don't appreciate disrespect and out of control kids infringing on my personal space and property. This is the way the world is going.
And why I'm not having kids
my three dogs are enough.
