Wasn't no talking back to adults period wheter they were right or wrong. You did what they said and if you had a problem you told your parents and they handled it.
But today you had better not correct somebodies child they want to fight you or cuss you out. Since the 70's babies have been having babies and not getting the guidance they needed to become good parents. Then they feel they have missed something and the tv becomes the babysitter 24/7 so mommie can go hang with the girls in her hoochie mama clothes, and bring mr. wrong home and the cycle continues. I am not saying that all young mothers are like this but just look around you. We are buying into the hype. Everytime I see a young man with his pants hanging down showing is butt I want to kick them right in it.

MaNessa, you're preaching! I know about that too and I'm only 22 years old. I think you're exactly right on why our kids not getting proper guidance. Girl, I know all about that! My mom does day care and it becomes very stressful for her to put her all and all into teaching when she knows that the parents aren't doing anything at the house. Perfect story: this tweny-four young lady brings her 3 years old son to day care. Now, my mother has been teaching them colors for approximately nine months to a year. Why does everybody else know those colors but him?! However, she brings him dressed in the finest clothes (Timberlands, Fubu, Nike, Tommy Hilfiger, etc)-the boy has more shoes than me. It's obvious to us that she puts more effort in how "cute" he looks rather than his BRAIN! He never wants to listen during story time/learning time, but he'll cut my mom off and ask her if it's time to play yet. That's a prime example of parents not taking out the time to teach at home.
And since we're on the topic...what's up with two and three year olds having attitudes already? I'm talking about little kids who don't wanna speak and who's very disrespectful, but the parents say, "oh, he/she is cranky today." That's when you need to spare not the rod! These kids are out of control! I'm not asking parents to beat their kids until they're red, but let them know who's the
HEAD of the household! When disciplining, there's a balance: LOVE & DISCIPLINE! They have to balance out though. And you know what, even though I was whipped with a belt, switch, extension cord, etc., I turned out quite SANE! I have manners, I know how to respect my elders (yes ma'am/yes sir), I have common sense, and I'm not bi-polar like most of the kids who haven't been disciplined. It bothers me to the max to see these kids turn it out in the public. What happened to raising your voice, say I'm gonna get those legs, something! Don't let these kids run us...we're the parents, not them. Another one of my mom's day care kids put HER MOM IN TIME OUT! What the hell is that about?! Go figure...
And one more thing: I feel so bad for those teachers like CT4. It takes a lot of patience, dedication, and prayer to deal with these kids these days.
