I see kids acting-out in public in ways we’d have been lambasted for.

After my mother got done disciplining me for unruly or bad behavior (usually a session with the 'board of education') she would wait for the tears to stop and say,
"Listen. If I didn't care...if I didn't love you, I would let you do whatever you want. You will grow up with people hating you. Is that what you want?"

Very good. When we grow up, we begin to understand and are grateful for our parents.
