"Dad, I have to tell you something, but yaou can't tell mom."
"Okay. What is it?"
"Promise not to tell mom?"
"Promise."
"We're all gonna die."

Wow! Pretty dark for a four-year-old. Don't ya think? Then again, can you blame him? Thirteen-year-old girls say they have "relationship" problems. Relationship problems? You're thirteen for fox sake! The only problem you should have must be your split ends! There are fourth graders who smoke and when you ask 'em why; they bare their teeth at you and yell, "I'm troubled!" With what?! Memorizing the multiplication table?
The next generation is scaring the livin' sh*it outta me. Where did we go wrong? I guess when parents started to ask for gluten free, vegan cupcakes for Little Timmys or Princess Tiffys. And stopped saying "Quiet boy! The grown ups are talking." Should we repeat the golden rules of normal parenting? I'd say yes... hell yes. In fact, screw repeat; how 'bout "three-peat"?

It was the final straw. I lost it.

I read this today and it reminded me this blog :)
That is exactly right. It's pretty much self-explanatory, ain't it?
Ah Onee... always optimistic, circa 19 to question mark.

Any explanation, dear? ^^

When parent want that much, they must do some efforts. They are the leader of children who can be affected by other things. When they already gave what we call understanding, children would most probably obedient without compulsion. But if parents didn't do efforts and only sigh....., it's just not fit to expect much... Let's hope for the best for the generation after us. ^^
Hiya!
Thanks Rosemary. That was incredibly insightful.
WHAT KIND OF A SICK F**K DOES THAT?
Binding Rule: When you are your kid's dealer, the government gets to keep your baby.
definitely, I agree with you about the vital role of parents in this moral failure.. even in the very beginning, when I started reading your blog, I wanted to yell it out before I saw that you already did...
Few days ago, I saw a video on facebook of a mother who was smoking hubble-bubble in front of her baby girl.. The baby girl started crying and begging her mother to give her the hose of the hubble-bubble, so what did the mother was.. she gave the hose to her baby and started laughing and recording her baby while smoking..
I can not say how much I felt very angry with such an shocking video.. but thinking it over.. criminals, druggers, burglars, robbers, rapers, scammers..etc. they all do not come form a very different upbringing from that.. I strongly wish if I could make a law for preventing such parents from having children ;and even if they had children; to deprive them from upbring their own children on their own..
