• Ok ok I try not to rant anymore and I really am at a loss of words, BUT WHAT THE F*** is wrong with kids today. Don't get me wrong, I love kids especially mine who have been properly dubbed Princess Anarchy an Mr Destructo. The two together most certainly are a force greater then an F 5 tornado and a 10 on the Richter scale earthquake with an “I Don't Give A F***" attitude.
• Now let's get something clear here before I go further. I'm sorry if I offend anyone. I am not perfect. I am not always right. I am not afraid to be educated or corrected by anyone. I do not know everything and somethings I do or say could be one of those situations where you go "Dam WTF is wrong with this guy". Or what I call “Blond Moments" and or "Brain Farts". Ok? I’m just keeping it real and being me.
• With that said let's return back to the "Don't Give A F*** attitudes. Has society really changed for the better since we stopped spanking children and became passive sorta like “Everyone Gets A trophy” era? No I don’t spank my children and no I do not do things the way one would think due to my statements or the so-called current traditional ways. I have my way and it works for the most part but sometimes it doesn’t or backfires. BUT whenever my child tells me she flat out refuses to pick up after herself and yells at me. Or something equally rebellious. There is a split moment where I want to snatch her by her collar and beat the words “ yes sir I’ll get it clean right now.” into her. But I don’t. I can literally scare the crap outta them but yet they won’t listen to a GD thing I say or tell them to do.
• Is this fall out for everyone gets a trophy or the fact we don’t spank kids anymore? Because I sure as hell will not comply wth everyone gets a trophy crap and Ill raise a hand but I won’t spank because Im too afraid Im going to jail. I mean what the F*** are they doing to our children in school. Everyone has to be equal but yet we grow up and are told to find our own identities. The new way I really feel it has limited the possibilities of our children’s futures. It has made them not care or listen to authority everything has to be equal, no drive no ambition taking the path of least resistance
• I’m sure you’re going “where the hell are you going with this?” Does it really matter? This is just my take on this particular subject and if there is someone out there who can offer up some information to change the way I Feel about it then so be it. Look believe it or not I know a thing or two about psychology, but do you really think that just because little Timmy down the street didn’t win the game he's going to grow up any less than a man. Lets give him a trophy. Or That he’s going to turn into some murdering psycho, an introvert, a self loathing low esteem nobody? That it will truly traumatize him for life because we didn’t? I say F*** No, If anything it has motivated Timmy in some way.
• Today we are so concerned about hurting feelings because of some "Pretty F***ed up things that have happened over the years. Kids killing kids because some group or individual taunted, made fun of, picked on, or tormented some other kid or kids. I'll tell you right now, I can't stand a bully or ignorant person who gets off on domination or what ever the hell it is that makes someone do the things they do. I was picked on a few times in life and it sure as hell didn't make me make the bad choices I've made over time. BUt what I do believe is that those shitty things and those poor kids who suffered are a product and demise of our doing. The adults in life. Think about it. We are so programmed to work hard and earn that dollar so our futures and retirements are all taken care of and so forth. Big business is so busy coming up with the next new standardized test for our children so they can succeed in college, and everything else from social media, technology and making sure every kid gets a trophy, that we are missing the big picture on what all this stuff is doing to us an our children. All the things that we are involved in in today's life is doing nothing but taking away precious time. Time from ourselves, family,friends, and kids. They are growing up without us. Think about it. How much quality time have you spent with your kids doing things? Not doing what you want but what they truly want? When's the last time you ran around outside in the rain stomping mud puddles, letting them create something in the kitchen and making a total mess? Staying up with them till they pass out on the weekends? Just being a kid with your kids and dropping the whole parent hat all together? Kids are growing up too afraid to take risks in life. To afraid to actually do things on their own because they seek approval. Waiting on that trophy so to speak. Do you honestly think if all the people in history from inventors, athletes business juggernauts like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Richard Branson etc. an so on all got trophies they would be who they are or became? Think about it. Time is short. Rethink spending time and what that really is with your children. Let them make mistakes and screw some things up But be there for them and catch them when they do and Really listen to them, really play with them, and most of all start being more real with them not just a parent to them. Teach them everyone is different and everyone makes mistakes. Teach them to help and share not judge and tease. Teach them it is ok to lose and not get a trophy. It doesn't mean you suck because you didn't get a trophy. What it is, is a lesson that we can all learn from and figure out what can we do better in life. What can I do to Improve. And teach them to never give up on their hopes and dreams. I said their hopes and dreams not yours.
