Thank goodness for my parents:
-they held me accountable for my own actions/words
-they didn't make excuses or compromise for bad behavior
-They taught me respect
But what are we teaching today's generation by not holding them accountable, making excuses and compromising?!? That you don't have to do things the right way, follow rules, or have any type of respect? That everyone in the world will accept your excuses and/or make excuses for you and not hold you accountable? If that's the case, I feel truly sorry for the current generation and we, as the ACTIVE adults, have failed them. Shame on us!
I cannot wait to be a parent but I'm also afraid. Afraid that my children will be living in a world full of ungrateful, disrespectful, excise-making, not accountable for anything, no good "privileged" jerks.
We see it now, and it's getting worse
. WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT IT??
