My Government Parents

Hello, today I thought I would talk about something that really gets under my skin. That would be the control that we as a people keep giving the government, and how things have changed....some good, some bad.

What I mean by the control is, when did the government decide that it was alright to tell parents how to control their children. In many cases now days the children are so out of control, you cant really do anything with them. The government wants a kid to have a career path by kindergarten, crazy as it sounds. I mean think back to when you started into school, the worst thing you had to remember was everybody's names. Now days kids have to know almost everything that you and I learned in our grade school years. I understand that the government wants us to be more up on the education side of things, but what we teach our kids is just as important.

Besides that, lets talk about how dumb our kids have become and how much they have become undeveloped emotionally. Even though in school they learn more than we did as kids, our children have either gotten really head strung or really dumb. I mean think about thinks like lawn darts, growing up when someone threw something in the air, you knew to run like hell, today's kids just look up and stand there. Slowly everything we thought was great as kids is disappearing. Diving sticks, micro machines, and metal toys, I am sure you could list many more, have suffered because of stupidity. As far as the emotional part of things goes, most of this comes from being bullied. We all should know that this is nothing new. We as parents need to make sure that our children are aware of where and why things happen. Don't assume that someone is teaching them these things. This is where the government has stepped in. They tell kids at school that no one can touch them, Spanking ...etc. There is such a thing as abuse, and there is discipline. Most kids think if their parents spank them, the kid is allowed to call the cops and have their parents arrested. Hello, if I talked back to my parents as a kid, I got knocked across the room. Kids get bullied because other kids prey on the weak minded. When I was growing up, I was picked on for a while, but soon it all changed because I became aware of the aspect to know more than those around me. The bullies soon learned that they would need me, for schoolwork or to keep them out of trouble because of their past. Bullies don't realize that if you mess with a kid that is a good kid, when they decide to get even, the bully will still get the blame.

Anyways, the government let many of us grow up being able to buy cigarettes for our parents, lead paint, metal and dangerous toys...and much more. Now, these things are bad and dangerous. I survived, as did many others. So they are basically saying that we screwed up, and now we want to make it right. Here is some advice for the government, let me take care of my kids. I am financially responsible for my kids, so unless I am receiving a support check, or beat my kids stay out of my home. Kids have no idea really how much easier they have it today than their parents did growing up.

Well, I planned on writing a little more into this, maybe update later. But for now, I think I made some points, so thanks for reading.
