I heard several of those growing up. My old man was and still is pretty strict with me, even though I'm 33 I just ignore it now as much as I can, but I work with him so it's from a boss standpoint now. The rules were clear when I was a kid, you **** up or disrespect somebody you got an ass whipping AND LEARNED NOT TO DO IT AGAIN!!! These kids today just get told no repeatedly, I see it in my friends with their kids. That doesn't work.
I've never been arrested, never done drugs (including Marijuana), had only drank 2-3 time before I turned 21. I have had at least one job since I was old enough to push a damn lawnmower. And wouldn't ask my parents for a damn thing unless it was life threatening. And although my first marriage didn't work out, I did try everything in my power to not let it get the point of divorce. I don't claim to be perfect but I think when my time comes to be a daddy I'll not be listening to these so called "experts" and raising my kids to be respectible individuals who are hardworking productive members of society. But if they turn out to be hellians, I'm blaming it on the education system. Cough cheapj7 cough
I have since learned of outside factors that played a role in how I was raised, and were a part of sometimes not understanding where my parents were coming from as a kid. As a kid I didn't understand the day to day trials my parents had to put up with that affected their temperment.
