The mother in me came out this morning when I hopped on Facebook. I clicked the “most recent” button, mine always seems to have 300+, and was horrified to see a picture of a naked girl put up by this boy I went to high school with. I clicked the photo and reported the picture, I didn’t realize you could only click it once *sad face*. But I was horrified for this girl. True, she shouldn’t have sent the picture but that was wrong as hell.
I have a love/hate relationship with the generation before my generation. Due to the fact that we weren’t just born this way. Someone had to teach/preach us the wrong things. For example, I would never let my son get away with the bullshit my brother did. My son would be at military school some damn where. But, my parents just took the L for every mistake, fight, weekend jail run, bad report card, hidden child, alcohol caused mishap, etc.
I also love how my generation gets the short end of the stick every time a record comes out. My parents like to say “That is crap, yall don’t know what music is.” but then say “They stole that from us…they need to thank us for that beat.” Which one is it? Are you mad about the song or do you want to be compensated? Everyone keeps saying, it’s only going to get worse. With an attitude like that, yes it will. Don’t blame us for your shortcomings in the home, because your too lazy or don’t want to be bothered with your own kids. That’s not how it works.
Yes, a portion of the blame can be put on the individuals. But, you saw a change in your child. And, since the parents are psychic, shouldn’t the parents be able to stop it? I always hear “You not slick, I did it before.” Ok, so you knew how his behavior was going to be? But their parents weren’t crazy, they knew exactly how to stop all that craziness. So, many parents are trying to be their child’s best friend when they need to concentrate on being a damn parent.
Just something on my mind.
