People get these Ideas of whats ok with how to parent based on media, tv, movies, etc............. The parenting is getting so bad it's not even funny. These parents even when I'm In the thrift store the other day this woman was looking at shirts, I saw her 2-3 yr. old kid wander 1/2 way through the store away from her. I brought her child back to her and told her, "do you mind watching your child?" now this kid could have been out of the store and she wouldn't have realized it. she said, "she's been beside me the whole time get away from me you freak." I was so upset I wanted to call CPS because people just don't watch their kids. It pisses me off so bad. I used to work at a daycare and one of my kids came in for about a month with new bruises like once a week for a month. I called the parent a few times and they said there was nothing going on. I called the cops based on suspicion and they went out to the house where they live with the child. Turns out, the woman hit the child right in front of the cop and went to prison for 3yrs. I still talk with the child (Jennifer) she's 7yrs old now in the hands of CPS. I talk to her once in a while. Actually, it's been a few years now but I'm sure she's doing well. She told me she felt more comfortable when she was in the classroom with me than at home. Anyways, I wish people would actually parent their children Instead of taking out their aggression on them. And people are so stressed with their own issues they don't care about their childrens needs, It's sad. One of the kids that moved to Utah, before she left, she lived next to me for about 5mo. She painted me a rock pink on both sides and glitter and 5 yrs later I still have it on display in my house. She was one of my favorites. She didn't have a dad around till' those 5mo. so she stuck to me like glue. I wish I could have adopted her. Back to autisim, It's sad, but bad parenting is just getting worse. And the parenting just keeps getting worse and worse as the years go by. Especially in the last 10yrs. Talking about it has me irritated now. My generation (I'm 27) is/was the last chance for raising kids well in a good family with morals and values, as our parents did with us. But It seems my generation just doesn't care. And even my parents generation is changing now which I think is due to media and tv/movies mainly, sad but true.

I saw 2 little girls walking in a storm that was brewing up one day and I turned around and went to see if they needed a ride somewhere. the oldest was about 6 or 7 and she was carring her little sister who was about 3 or 4, and they both looked like they were ready to start crying. they took me up on my offer and I gave them a ride home. Turns out I knew their mother and I saw her later that day in a bar and told her what I had done. She got real mad and said those two were going to get a real good spanking because she has told them and told them never to ride with a stanger. I sez to her, "yeah, and when you do that give them a couple of good belts for me too, because it was getting cold, starting to rain, and the wind was blowing dirt into their faces". That shocked her real feirce and she got mad at me. About 5 minutes later she came over and told me I was right and that she wasn't going to punish them because of the circumstances. Yeah, circumstances like her being in the bar while her 2 young chillens were struggling and scared to get home that day.
grrr...

Actually the abuse was worse in years gone by when there was no protection for children. I know first hand, a real cinderella story.. and it was a lot worse for my brother who is no longer with me.
BUT I agree, tv, movies, internet, child porn.... it all makes me sick.

It is true like the other blogger said, my parents wouldn't hesitate to take a razor strap to our behinds in a second if we got out of line and we had the bruises too. There was no talking back and you did things the first time. Respect was there and we didn't raise or voices, slam the doors or stomp off. Kids just behaved better in days gone by. The problem is, parents didn't know when to stop and so authorities had to step in I guess. I only got hit once or twice I believe because that's all it took. Those razor straps hurt like hell. I suppose you could call it abuse, but then what's the purpose if the lesson doesn't work? They didn't need to use it again. Now you'd prolly get thown in jail. Lost

Lost, I get where you're coming from, but I'm talking about closed fisted punch in the face. I understand spanking and belts but not that. I get where you're coming from though because you even make your child cry and you'd probably be called on for abuse. still it's bad the way things are nowadays. People just don't know how to parent.

I was never spanked. We were taught with words. In return I learned to teach my children with words and a few time outs. If a door is slammed it is removed. I am here when my children are. I work around them. When they hang at the park I drop off ice water for the group. (really it is to check on them) If they date I need to meet the person and the parents first. We have family meals and go for family walks. At 16 & 18 they are still 100% virgins, non drinkers, non smokers and are proud to be these things. I am not naive and know that they have many friends who have tried all of these things and more. It is all around them and they choose another route. Luck? NO, it is because they have a family that talks about EVERYTHING and interacts together.
It is not the media as much as it is laziness. Children are not trinkets or a trophy to show off. They can not raise themselves. The sooner parents get off their lazy a** the sooner society will turn around.

Justme, It sounds like you're a really good parent. It's good to know there are still some of you guys around. Unfortunately, there are not many left
