first off. i'm 17 almost 18 and the idea of pushing a bowling ball out of that area of my body :shock: still does not appeal to me. secondly if i EVER talked that way i would not be alive today my mom and dad would have beat me senseless. and i think that is what thet girl needs. :cowboy:
Yeah. The beatings need to be administered early and often.
I was a single parent for several years and MY older son never gave me that sort of issue. The younger one is just 14 so I will get to see how he's gonna turn out when he's set free on the world. It isn't really the single parent or the two parent thing, in my opinion. I know some horrible kids who have two parents at home. One of them, a stay at home mom with the new Suburban and cute twins, used to sell meth, and use it, too, while her kids were on "play dates". So there are all kinds of scummy folks out there.
I think the problem is that a lot of kids today simply are not parented. I see it all the time where I work, especially the Hispanic kids. Not to be racist, but some of those kids have parents that do not speak English at all and the kids have grown up translating for them and they think their parents are stupid because they have always had to be the ones that took care of business.
I asked a kid once what was going to happen when his mother got another notice in the mail that he'd been in trouble. He told me his mother was stupid and didn't even speak English anyway.
Good thing for me, we have a Spanish languate liason at the school. I just had her call Mama and explain what was going on. Kid got better after that...
For every problem, there is a solution...
