BAC IN THE DAY..

I was just curious about a few things regarding how people raise they kids now and days. I was just wondering on a few things on how the parents today are raising their children. For example, when I was younger I had a damn bed time and believe me, my mom enforced it every damn night. Now there were times when I use to try and stay up past that time. You know, when you use to be real quiet watching tv hoping your parent didn't realize it was past your bedtime. LOL. But shit, now and days these parents let they kids stay up at all times of the night. My kids bedtime is 9pm. They have a cell phone and I make them turn it off when they go to bed. So why is it that when I turn it on in the morning (being nosey) alerts are going off for text messages? So this means somebody else's kid is up past 9pm and texting my damn kid like they ain't got school the next day. I mean to me, I think 9pm is a good time for an 11 and 9 year old.

I also noticed how parents today don't really teach they kids manners or at least enforce them if they do teach them manners. Do you remember when you were little and you cut into a grown folks conversation what happened? If your mom was like mine, she back slapped yo ass. You didn't even need an explanation as to why she hit you because at that point you already knew why. Not these parents today. You can be talking and they cut right the fuck in and don't say excuse me or anything. The sad thing is, the parent won't even correct them, hell they start conversating with the kid on what they had to say. You be sitting there thinking, Wasn't I just talking?

Another thing was how todays parents don't make they kid eat all they food. Shittttttt, when we was little our parents made us sit there all god damn night with that plate until we got done. What was they famous words, If you don't eat then you not getting any dessert. (lol) Hell, if ya mom was my mom, she'd put that plate in the frig and make ya ass eat it for dinner the next day. These parents today will side with the kid, don't make them eat the shit and even reward them with a snack after they didn't even eat. Like what type of shit is that? Times were hard back in the day and you were lucky to even get 3 meals a day. Shit with niccas, lunch wasn't even a priority back then. It was breakfast and dinner, that's it. You might get dessert here and there. Now kids seem to think they need a damn snack every day after dinner. And the parent be right there to give it to them.

Are the kids that are being raised today lacking the responsibility that we were given when we were younger? Like these kids today come home from school and head right back out the door to play. Hell not me. When I was little I had to do my homework first, then any chores I had before I was allowed to go anywhere. Parents today don't seem to give they kids any chores. They don't know how to wash a dish, vacuum, dust, wash clothes, cook, clean the bath room, just nothing. Hell every Saturday me and my sisters were cleaning the bathroom and washing clothes and what not. Ask a kid today what chores do they have to do. 1st thing they might say is, What's a chore? Please, I have boys and I'll be damned if they are raised as not knowing how to do things for themselves. I don't want them to be the type who has a girlfriend and has to depend on her to do everything for him. I want him to be able to cook when she's not feeling up to it or be able to handle the house while she's away. I know when we were younger our parents use to tell us chores were a way of helping us learn how to be mature. And you know us kids, always thought we knew it all. Was probably thinking, what does cleaning the bathroom every Saturday have to do with teaching us to be mature. But it's not until later on in life that we see that these things did make us mature and it helped us when were sent out into the world. But parents today don't seem to see that and they raising these kids to always rely on mommy or daddy and then them same parents will be wondering why when they child gets to be an adult they can't do anything on they own. The females will be the needy ones who cling on to men that can take care of them (financially) and the boys turn into the men that always need the female to do things for them. .Updated about 10 months ago · Comment ·LikeUnlike
