Greetings...
The other day, there was a news story on TV that caught my attention.
A house caught fire and two Firemen were hurt when they fell through
the roof trying to put the fire out...
Believe it or not, that wasn't the part of the story that got my
attention. It was the reason FOR the fire that had me shaking my
head, and again, wondering what is going on with the youth of
today...
The fire was set by the teen son because he was upset with his
parents. No, they weren't abusive parents, they were parents
who gave him a chore, ONE chore that caused him to go into a
rage and set the house on fire...
I know you're just dying to know what the horrendous chore was,
and if I were you, I would make sure no one is sleeping nearby
because I guarantee you will make some sort of loud noise when
you read it...

This "poor kid" was told to...wash the dishes!!! I kid you not.=
..
He flew into a rage and proceeded to get revenge on those "horrible
parents". What is going on? You can make any and every argument
against discipline and an occasional spanking and I will NEVER
agree with it because any kid who can't take a simple order to
do a chore without becoming violent needs a swift kick in the pants
that sends him across the room...
Before you're too quick to judge the parents and believe they were
abusive and his behavior is a result of it, not so fast. According
to the report and neighbor interview, the parents were decent people
who have been dealing with a kid who has been smoking pot and giving
them nothing but trouble...
It's NOT always the parents fault when a kid turns bad, but it IS
the parent's "fault" if you will, when they are disciplines and
taught consequences...
Of course there are always exceptions to every situation, but this
is one generalization that is the norm rather than the exception
these days...

Unless kids are made to learn consequences at an early age, everything
=
they do in their life will create a "victim mentality" that blames
=
any and everyone for their own shortcomings and never become accountable=
for their own behavior or actions...
You can tell a little kid "hot, don't touch" until you're blue in the=
face when they are little. Chances are, until they feel a little bit
of that heat at one time or another, they won't fully realize what
"hot" really means...
We want to protect our kids from bad things, but some parents actually
=
treat their little darlings like they are above not only the consequences=
,
but the bad behaviors. Some are actually creating the victims without
realizing it and then are in shock when it all goes to Hell in a
hand basket...
It's sad and kids are suffering. They are more and more anti-social
and hide behind computers and text messaging rather than interacting
with each other. The pressures they face every day are pushing them
to abandon childhood and enter adulthood before they are ready or
able to cope with it. And you think making it illegal to spank helped
or hurt another generation? Do you believe discipline is archaic and
takes away a child's ability to thrive and become something?
I'd hate to see what would have happened if the parents had asked
this kid to take the garbage out...
Have a great weekend everyone!
