Today

September 12, 2006 Today Have you noticed as of late the children or young adults that we get to deal with on an everyday basis now? Wow what the hell happened to respect for others and themselves? I look around at the younger generation of today and I am ashamed of what I see. I'm not going to say that it's all the kid's fault because you learn what you live. You have some kids, for arguement sake right now they are kids , the parents are so wrapped up in their own life that they just hand the kids whatever they want to pacify them. I hear" Oh I don't want them to have to have it the way I did growing up". Well ok I can see that but we are teaching them it's ok to sit on their asses and expecting someone else to take care of them instead of them being responsible and doing good in school and getting good jobs. Everytime they get in trouble we bail them out instead of making them take care of the things they need to do on their own. Yes we have all had a rough life at some point but we are putting kids out there who don't care about what they do or don't do because the parents will fall all over themselves to fix it for them. It used to be we had to get jobs and earn the money for a car or the things we wanted. Now I know kids need things, there is a difference between need and want. I'm guilty of this just as well but I do see what I'm doing wrong. I have a 14 yr old son right now who I am at battle with. I have tried letting him express himself and I see more laziness all the time. It used to be "Mom what do you need me to do or can I help you do that". Now I have to bitch to get him to do just about anything. I am sick of seeing kids with pants hanging down off their asses clothes that look like they stold them from an older brother or sister just so they can be like the rest of the kids. If you try to stop it then you get the guilt trip that we are trying to make the other kids not like them cause they are different. How can I try to make my son see it's best to get into the habit of being more responsible when all he sees is a bunch of spoiled kids who get whatever they want and to hell with the pride of knowing you accomplished something on your own.We are sending a bunch of lazy irresponsible kids out into the world with no clue what to do by themselves.I know there are kids that have noone to have teach them anything, but yet they are usually the most ambitious of them all they know how to do what has to be done to survive. They understand they will have to earn their way through life. Here's a prime example of what I mean if you're to damn lazy to figure it out for yourselves: I have alot of younger people in my life because of my daughter who is 20. Now she was raised by her grandparents and they sheltered her all her life and has been given pretty much everything she wanted now she is getting the shit knocked out her by the real world that she is so frustrated with all the things she is now finding that has to be done and can't have someone do it for her. She screwed around in school now she is regretting it because she didn't go to college. She just thought someone would take care of everything for her. Yeah right join the real world!!!! Noone does anything for you unless they expect something in return and it's not always a good thing they want back. She is now finally trying to hold a job and maybe getting a second job but yet wants to go back to school. Ok hey I'm proud as hell of that. It's been a long road for her in the learning process cause now she has a "friend" who wants to sit on their ass and do nothing and when I say nothing I mean nothing. They are asked to do something and they agree to do it but don't and just make excuses as to why they didn't or can't. This person wants to sit there and have her pay for everything so they can continue to do nothing.Now I know the one parent of this "friend" and they are good people but something went wrong. I just hope that somewhere anyone will read this and maybe we as parents can change what is happening to our youth of today. It scares me to think the youth of today are gonna be taking care of this country and us when we get older. Ok now my next complaint: This summer I got out alot more than usual to the parks and saw alot of fathers with their kids. An awesome site I have to admit atleast they want to be a part of the kid's lives.Now here it comes and I know from experience!!!! What the hell is wrong with parents today??? You lay down with this person you're with and make the kids but then dads walk away from the kids and don't show up when they are supposed to or just don't show up at all. The kids have things going on at school for dads and they bring a grandparent or a neighbor cause their dad won't come. Or say you're married and have kids, you get divorced, ok it happens, and the mother knows the dad is a fantastic parent and loves their kids with all their hearts and would do anything to get to see them. Then you get the situation where we women don't let the dads see the kids cause they want to use the kids to get what they want out of the dads. I AM NOT SAYING THE ROLES AREN"T REVERSED IN THIS SITUATION!!!!! Who has determined that a mother is the best suited parent to raise the kids??? I know when I went through my divorce I was told " Don't worry it's almost impossible to get the kids off of the mother". Why are we always assumed to be the better parent?? I know some dads that are the better parent and they get screwed over because the courts say hey you're a woman so that makes you a better parent. BULLSHIT!!! Both parents are more than suitable to raise the kid(s). Shouldn't we determine who has the kids by who is the better parent not just assume the mother is the better of the two?? I know moms that have the kids and they are not worth the time a dog takes to sniff someones ass. The court don't care we are woman hear us roar. I also know dads that just make kids but don't give a shit to do what they are supposed to do. I'm sure somewhere I'm pissing someone off and I don't care. Those kids are our future stop fucking them up. They are not a game but are people just like us and need to be guided to do the right thing in life. Teach them to want to succeed and to be responsible. I know I don't want my kids to do to me like what other kids do when I get older and just throw me into a home for the elderly and say well ok I did what I had to do and walk away and not care cause they have more important things to do than to take the time and do what we were taught to do. I would hope that if I hadn't taken the time to show my kids so far they are loved and I want the best for them and want them to be the best person they can be that I die before I have to rely on kids that are as ignorant as some of the kids I see now cause they are a bother in our busy schedules or just don't care. Ok stop reread what I just said, you may be the one left in a home and ignored so take the damn time to show you care and are responsible cause it will come back to bite you in the ass. What's that song?? Cats in a Cradle, the phrase I believe said over and over I'm gonna be just like you Dad. There you have it. Do whatever you want with what I said I really don't give a shit as usual but I know how I want to be treated when i get older and maybe need my kids to take care of me. Have a good one
