"I went to my bedroom when i was eleven and came out again at 16. Actually i was a walking nightmare, its only recently ive calmed down. My sister was a right swat, always goody two shoes, yet we where brought up the same. Now im so close to my mum its unbelievable.
Callum never got into trouble just typical boy stuff, but it was a gobby phase he went through and that was it. Although there where times i could have happily murdered himGobby phase we are in that my younger girl from 17/now 18 She called me and her dad a twat last night and for nothing .... i would never say things like that to my mum and dad never ....
I used to get it all the time, my middle one punched me in the face when she was going thro her phase, i had to walk out the house so i didnt smack her back and stay out till we had both calmed down, and that was because i told her she couldnt go out so she punched me, then stood there and told me if i hit her back she'd call child line lol
ive never laid a finger on any of my kids i dont believe on hitting children but when i look back over those years i have no idea how i managed not to hit her, i must have great self controll  "
Kids today have it too easy, everything is handed to them on a plate. Can't smack em, schools can't discipline them, do they know what they can get away with. There's no incentive to behave, be courteous or respectful. Only way you can attempt to punish a stroppy teen is by taking away the games consoles they seem to think is going to help them in later life. Old fuddy duddy at 41 I may be, but bring back the days of adventuring, making bows and arrows, using the farmers hay bales to make your fortress. Building dams across streams. Playing conkers knowing at some point it was going to smash your knuckles to pieces, but that was part of the fun!...Daring to pinch a few halfpenny sweets from the corner shop ( run by an elderly gentleman named Bert, as opposed to Gupta), being caught and having the local bobby, cuff you up the back of the head and thinking how much harder the next ones gonna be off your parents!
Nowadays, kids want to try kill people with weapons, burn down the farmers crops and polute streams. Want to hold up shops at gun/knifepoint and terrorise anyone who dares to stop them. All in the name of Technology and Evolution I'm told! Glad I won't be around to see too much if the chaos the next as well as the current generation will inflict on society. This country as have many others globally, has gone past the point of social decline, its now socially fucked!
Lads today think its cool and hard to carry weapons to intimidate others, in my day it was fight with your fists. Girls would rather send 5000 text messages slagging someone off, rather than have a good ol fashioned hairpulling.
And here endeth the first lesson. |
