HERE'S WHAT I THINK

 

Most Parents Today are Lame.

Give me a break. So many of today's parents are WAY to permissive, let their kids under 18 run wild, don't teach them simple manners, let them dress like...UGH! Scary! Parents need to get control, let kids be kids, and BE PARENTS.

YOUR TURN! 

Are you sick of lame parents raising rude bratty kids?

Loading Fetching blurbs now... please stand by

YES! Parents need to get involved with their kid and teach them right.

Jimmie says:

Shoot yeah! Parents don't spend time with their kids. Then the kids don't know how to act. Then the parents can't STAND to be around them. Vicious circle.

0ctavias0fferings says:

But when the parents have no self-control, you can't expect the kids to have any. Children learn by example.

Timbers says:

YES! So many parents need to step up to the plate and be parents.

JJNW says:

Many parents today are lazy and selfish. Kids need parenting and good role models... not couch potatoes and constant day care.

No - kids just grow up faster today. Parents are fine.
