In today's society, we begin to examine the poor attitude and ill-direction of the future leaders of our crumbling world. Lately, the media has forcefully labeled frustrated, hardworking parents as Adolf Hitler because they slap the wrist of an unruly child, who continues to disobey anything and everything they are told. Without surprise, the consistency of raising a decent human being is threatened by the false opinions and ridicules debates of the vast protesters, holding banners of hate while they provide useless experience, being non-parental persons. What was once yesterdays slap on the ass for stealing, lying and disobedience, is now today's "lets have a conversation"

Now, I am not talking about abuse such as a Joan Crawford with a wire hanger, (which was most likely a lie since Christina Crawford spilled her story to the entire world, and notably, people who are abused usually do not talk about it) but a good old fashion American kick in the ass, so that you will get it through your thick head that there will always be a consequence for ill-favored actions. But such is not approved in these times. Now we begin to carefully observe what is happening with today's society. This tainted world continues to become a dreaded place to dwell in, as the actions and attitudes of people become atrocious, they are now thought as a child that they can "Talk it out". When I was a child, I knew nothing better than knowing one thing, if I screw up, I'm finished! Having fear of doing what is wrong should always be right. But today, every parent is brainwashed with the notion that their child should be placed on a pedestal while they bow down and cover their heads before them. A parent is told that they must feel bad because they have to work that extra hour, and create the unpardonable sin of missing their forced public school play. If the parent, especially in today's economy, doesn't work, how in the blazing hell will the child be able to stuff their faces with the food brought to the table?

Now a days, dad's have transformed into delicate sissy's, rubbing the shoulders of their spoiled sons while nicknaming them Honey. What happened to the nicknames like "Slugger" and "Sport"? What happened to the good o' days when sons worked on 1967 Cherry Mustang with your old man? What happened to fathers and sons playing catch in the front yard? What happened to fathers and sons roughing it in the wild? Today, fathers and sons are playing with Barbies and makeup, making it an "equal opportunity". Since when does a five year old child have an opinion on who is going to watch television at seven p.m.! The Uncompromisable Truth is that we are raising up our unteachable spawns to become Children of the Corn, ruling over their houses, doing whatever they want, and eventually ending up to be a waste of human skin. Arguing with a four year old about why you can not slap your mother is the more of an abomination than Sony pictures getting rid of the Spiderman cast and making Spiderman-The Teenage Years. (Which will be blogged about in days to come.)
Parents need to take charge of their houses. They need to teach their children that bad actions receive bad consequences. Your children do not need therapy, nor do they need fake pills for a make believe syndrome made up by doctors, wanting not to offend the clueless parents and announcing the plain truth, your child is an obnoxious brat that needs some discipline! Lets use the wonderful example of the 1973 classic film "The Exorcist". The two serious priests attempted various times to cast out "The Devil Himself", but what was the one action that drove out that demonic force...yes, it was an ass kicking! Watch it, learn it, do it!! Then maybe we will have some decent people living on this world in the future! And that, my friends, is The Uncompromisable Truth.
That's a tough subject. One of the first things I taught my kids was how to act in public. You lay on the floor in a store and scream because I won't buy you something? That's okay, but be prepared for me to drag your butt out of there by an ankle or an arm.
ReplyDeletethey weren't perfect, but I never had to do the dragging. Of course, my mom, she was another story. She would beat the crap out of us in public, and also beat the crap out of anybody who had a problem with it... most people are to one extremem or the other.
Be firm and consistant with your kids, that's all it takes. And start young!
I don't agree with all the stuff in your posts, but it's pretty darn interesting! Think I'll tag along.
Lot's more on my mom at patricktillett.blogspot.com (the early posts)
Jeffrey, your subject matter and atmosphere are grrreat!
ReplyDeleteJust watch that you don't a) put the word "ill" where it doesn't belong; and, b) don't repeat the same thought twice in a post, especially when that post is a thesis type argument. And of course, separate your paragraphs, having only one thought/idea per each.
You have style and raw talent and definitely a way with words and with a little more grammatical discipline, you'll have the blogging world by the tail!
Oh, and by the way, I'm from the generation of kids I like to call the "Shallow Grave" Generation...
We KNEW that our homes were NOT a democracy but a full-on, hard-core dictatorship, whereby a look from either parent was enough to stop you in your tracks!
And, of course, if you were extra dense, and you disobeyed or ignored the rules of Law & Order as put down by Mom & Dad, there was a shallow grave dug in the backyard (you just KNEW it!) where you would end up as Mom & Dad tried for a new kid, a better kid, the ideal one to replace your rotting corpse, way out there in the back yard!
Parents for several decades now have made their homes a democracy when we know kids should never be the decision-makers in the family. And yes, those same parents, maybe because of the guilt associated with working long hours, acquiesce to their children's demands, materially and behaviourally, when quite the opposite should be occurring.
My parents worked long hours and only RARELY did they ever make my school pageants, etc. I didn't complain because I knew why - they were putting a roof over me so why should I have a tantrum about it?!
Maybe your generation, which by the looks of your photo, seems to be what would be my kids' generation, will revert back to a dictatorship as parents and get kids behaving as they should, in private and in society. We can only hope!
I'm LURKING ya and have added your blog to my B3 Favourite Blogs List!
Cheers, congrats and all the best for your blogging in 2010!

AMEN!! LOL :)
ReplyDeleteOnce again your content is on point. The social norms have swayed toward a primary concern about feelings and being sensitive. While your post about the home is a great illustration there are two additional arenas that provide a similar glimpse of this transformation. One is the criminal justice system. I believe we have long gone past the threshold of ridiculous when we take a convicted kidnapper, rapist and murderer (same person) and complain about the manner of which their execution is carried out because it is well, "cruel and unusual." Demanding humane treatment for someone who kidnaps, rapes and kills a child is backward. The second is education. Their was/is a movement to encourage teachers to stop (even prohibit via policy) grading papers with a 'red' pen because the color has an extremely negative association on schoolwork. Why, as a society, are we supposed to soften the blow to someone who is throwing away that free opportunity (education) you are given in this, the land of opportunity?
