Ok so I want to touch on a topic that can be a little hard for some people. That’s totally ok because it all depends on how you were raised and how you discipline your children. I want to talk about children and the lack of respect they show their parents and elders.
It seems that the lack of respect children have for their parents is on the rise. I don’t think some kids realize just how important their parents are. The lack of respect for elders in general is on the rise also. I just sit back sometime and wonder what is wrong.
I heard a 14 year straight out disrespect her mother to the fact that she called her a b***h and the mother just looked at her. What happen to the discipline? How could you stand there and allow your child to talk to you like that without comforting her?
I am not that old but I can tell you right now that if I talked to my mother like that I would most likely either not be here today or would be in some type of disability from getting the crap slapped out of me. I have so much respect for my mother that I would give her any and everything she needs.
I have never had a spanking because I knew better than to disrespect my family. My grandparents made it real clear to us how to act and how to show respect and I am so grateful for them. I believe that being raised mostly by my grandparents because my mom worked all day made me a little stronger.
I grew up with my half-brother for the most part. We stayed at my grandparent’s house everyday while our parents were working. We helped them if they needed something and if we weren’t helping them then we were outside playing.
We stayed outside and played all day unless it was bad weather. We would come in for lunch then a nap then we were right back outside playing. Kids nowadays won’t go outside in play if you paid them to. They are so caught up in video games.
Don’t get me wrong we played video games also. I sometimes wonder is the lack of fresh air causing some of the issues we have with children. Maybe if they would get outside more and learn some hard work from their grandparents’ they would be a little more respectful. What do you think?
These kids out here today have it made. They get whatever they want. You would think they would be more respectful. You can’t discipline your child anymore because they want to call the cops. Maybe when they threaten to call the cops the parents should just take them to the police station it would help save on your phone bill.
I say it’s time to go back to some old school teaching of discipline and respect. It’s time these kids learn how to respect people not only their parents but everyone. A lot of times when people are disrespectful to others they don’t even respect themselves. It’s time for a change.
Young people you need to cherish your family. You may get married and have a family n law as I call it but no one can ever replace your blood family. You need to cherish your mother and father because you only get one and cherish your grandparents they are the backbone of your family.
Let’s try to make a change everyone and let’s start by learning to respect your own self. I am not saying this is going to be easy but we have to start somewhere. Parents you need to stand up and start showing your children who is the parent and start teaching them some discipline. A little hard love won’t hurt anyone I promise.
And children you need to step it up and start respecting your parents they are your firm support when times are hard and when times are good. Cherish them and love them daily show them that they mean more than anything to you
