Ok there was a conversation going on about why kids are so wild now-a-days. The op stated it's because
"So many parents these days (single parents especially) are so worried about themselves and their relationships or lack thereof,"
I just don't get it. Last i knew it's because kids can't get the attention they need because of the fact most families HAVE TO HAVE 2 working parents. It's day cares that raise our children and also because the goverment can't keep their noses out of our lives MANY parents are AFRAID to disipline in fear it could be titled "abuse".

i don't for a second think it's b/c of parents being to interested in themselves...i think its more the oppisite...Parents are moreso afraid to parent b/c they don't want to be to hard, or they want their children to be friends with them instead of respecting them. Also parents are not allowed to really dicipline their children anymore without someone having something to say. Children are not taught to respect ppl, and even in school the teachers are not able to give them any form of dicipline, the can't keep them in at recess b/c it's mean, they can't hold them back b/c it's not teaching self esteem.
agreed....i can't belive so many moms think it's because parents are self absorbed....

I put other. I think it's because parents don't want to disappoint their children.
i think it might have to do with parents wanting their children to like them- so they don't disapline them. or kids get in trouble and parents come to the rescue, because MY child would never do that thinking! my son's teacher was afraid to tell me he wasn't behaving in school, she kept dancing around the subject until i said i'm not a parent that believes my child can do no wrong. then she started talking away!haha
I voted other. I think that it is the exact opposite of the original statement. So many parents are absolutely obsessed with their children. Their entire lives revolve around their children. I call it the first baby syndrome... you know, a woman has a baby and suddenly she is the first woman to ever give birth. The children grow up selfish and with an inflated sense of self-importance. They aren't taught to consider others. If there's a problem in school, it's the teacher's fault. If there's a problem with their friends, it's the other parent's fault. Too many parents put too much time and energy into making excuses for their perfect children instead of teaching them to be responsible for their own actions.
Am I wrong for not giving a F**** that hes dying?
