Re: What\'s wrong with older kids nowadays?
I really think it's an issue of respect, not "the times". Me and my 2 siblings were raised by my mom, who worked her ass off to support 3 kids. She took no shit whatsoever. Up until I was 18 I had a 10:00pm curfew, and I didn't dare break it, or I got a whap in the mouth. I remember laughing at my mom once when I was about 17 or 18 and telling her I was old enough to do what I wanted. My mom (who's about 5'3") literally JUMPED UP off the floor to reach me and gave me a bitch-slap that I still recall to this day. I didn't give me mom anymore shit after that brother! Of couse I drank like hell, smoked weed, and even did coke here and there, but I KNEW what I had coming to me if I stepped out of line, so I rarely did. Gotta get 'em while they're young...once they're "wild teenagers" the damage has already been done. I have a buddy who still stands up with his arms at his side and says "Sir"? when his father calls him from other room, and he's 37 now. Dicipline, man.
