Children to Parents

I’m not sure how to explain this, and it is my feelings on the matter, so take or what it is worth, and file #13, it if you don’t’ like it. Children in both South and North America’s I’ve noticed lately, show very little respect for their parents, and explain it away as a generation gap. It has nothing to do with a gap; it has something to do with youperiod. Children or kids can show respect to dogs, fish, girlfriends, the boyfriends down the block, but when they come home and the parents are there, the lack the ability of show regard is gone, respect is regard for the other person: you may be sing “I know that,” well maybe you do, but a lot of you don’t. Later on they’ll say: “Gee, I was just growing up then, we all were like that.” Horse crap, it was not like that when I was growing up, and we had nothing, very little. I was brought up on a foster farm for four years, and never talked back to my mother. When I was 21-years old, I swore a few bad words in her house and she chanced me out, out of her house, like a man would chase a pig at the stockyards where she worked, and where I worked.

It’s funny; kids can give respect to everyone but the ones that gave them life. And I don’t care if your father swears or your mother is a whore; that is their business, they gave you life; and it is not your job to monitor them, although I do not go along with excessive abuse, but a good kick in the ass never hurt, and would put things a little straight or a lot of mouthy kids. Even Davy Crockett, our National Hero got a whipping from his father, and loved him all the more.

One of my twin boys said once to me, “I wish you and ma were not divorced.” And I said why, wasn’t I the hard father, the one that made you stick to the rules, and the one that whooped you when you needed it.” And he said, “Yes, and now we have no rules, and I can do as I please, and the law protects me, and I wish I was with you, because you took the time.” Yes indeed it takes time to put things straight, it takes a parent’s time, but now they have rules.

Half the problem is the law. It is not uncommon anymore for them to interfere into a family’s up bringing of their kids, and they do. The judges know nothing about raising their own kids, half the time, and they are making decisions for yours, and ungodly they may be in the process; nor does the social system care, rather pass simply pass judgments, and these are the kids that will raise kids, God help us now (we can see already the results, it only takes one or two decades, and the lack of decency is quite noticeable); most of the social workers are for the children, and let them call the shots. And if these are not issues, then what is. I’m glad my kids are raised, I’d hate to have them in our public school systems now with no god no this no that, and forced feed all the garbage they want to feed them, and you can’t say a word, can’t say anything, but everything is ok. Sure it is.
