even that link it soumds she did a crap job of raising her kid, you cannot tell me what pants to wear

If she had been there from the day he was born and brought up right ten he would not have been the person today.

Like I said I talk to these kids eevry day, I see some of their lazy parents, I see how kids want a mother anda father, do you?

You keep talking about his later life how about when aged 4 aged 7 aged 10, that is when he makes himself.

Giving in to a kids demands and being friends with tem is not the solution either.

I am angry , self responsibility seems a thing of the past, too many wishy washy people who want to look at excuses or follow the media or act and be upset more than the next person.

Those who are upset about being called out about how they are parents and spending time in their own lives , going out, working etc would be upset wiht what I have said.

I grew up in foster homes and was off the wall and if it were not for the military then I;d be in prison today.

get back to how parents were, raise the kid wiht morals, yep you go to give up some of your life when being a parent.
My wife and I have gone out twice this year, all our time goes to the kids,.

We have put off our lives untl they are older enough, we;ll be sitting down for dinner as we always do, talk over dinner, kids help to clean up etc.

Not come home, throw shoes off, say we’;re tired, put a TV in their own room to give us peace and not sit down for at least most of the night being with them, playing games, talking, going over issues.

did well for yourself as i did even with violent abuse bla bla time after time and foster homes.
You made it to a good family during your goring up days, well done, happy it worked out for you and your siblings

Fact is that this kid was not raised right just like so many kids today.
My kids are all home now and we have just been talking about this and the oldest just said how many kids talk about the lack of responsibility , one just said today he can do anything he wants.

Once that kid gets to 13 or 15 he’s already on the way to becoming an adult and how he will he be.

Don;t get me wrong, there are so many adults today who think the world owes them, care more about their jobs and careers than their own kids, care more about dining out wiht friends or going drinking than being with their kids

To argue with my gun control friends, I need better stats. Crime going up or down is not as potent as a direct comparison of legal or illegal. I do like the Washington, D.C. Stats, where the concealed carry coun ties have less crime.
