Damn Parents!!!

[Bop]

Everyday I see how horribly parents treat their children... why did they have them in the first place? I propose that if you want to have kids, you must first obtain a license to do so. Maybe it would help, most likely it wouldn't... just a thought.

Maturity in the parents relationship is a must. Most of the time you see the parents acting like the kids.......but what do I know

i also see parents who dont give a shit about their kids, they just let them run riot in shopping centres. the damd things run around and break things and annoy people and then wonder why you hate them. buuuuuuuuuut then again there just kids. its the parents problem...

[ComputerWiz311]

I don't think people should have licenses to have kids, but I do believe that some people should take much better care of their kids. They should grow up and take responsiblity for their kids, and realize that it is a child, and not a dog, or a cat, but a human being.

/me is a licensed dad.

They are called marriage lisences. Some have them, some are single parents. Some are too young to care about anything (like a child) but themselves.

Parents are just doing what they think it is best for their children.But on the other hand, they never really try to understand their children's problem. All they do is ASSUME it which I think is gross injustice to the childrens. On another hand, the children should also understand what the parents are doing is just to protect them from harm.
So,it is a tic for tac situation........
A little compromise is never going to hurt.....

BUT THEN AGAIN KIDS CANNOT BE IN CONTROL COMPLETELY

[apollos]

It works both ways. If the kids are abusing (not physically) their parents then the parents are just in some of their actions.

But abuse of kids does happen, it is sad, and sometimes results in the kids being murdered, as many examples have been on the news in the last few years...

Yes,I agree,but parents never listen to kids in the first place!!!

It sickens me to hear how some people treat their children, I guess people don't realize that having children is a lifetime commitment and being a parent is a 24/7 job... you don't just have a child and then try and let it roam free and raise itself. I wish people would learn some respect and treat their children like human beings rather than just giving up on them and giving them away or, as in some extreme circumstances, killing them.

Why don't we just give kids chastity belts at birth, and give them the key when they pass a test? We should also regulate the sale of water, and other liquids, because you never know when some hooligan will pee in public.

That is the reality that is happening now in this world.

Oh, what is this world coming too????

We live in an imperfect live, in an imperfect world!!

I think parents expecting kids should me mandated by law to take a parenting course. I don't think a lot of these parents to be are aware of how much influence they have over their children. In order to be a good mother or father you must first be a good person yourself, unfortuatly that isn't always the case and many of these childeren are left to raise them self.

We get so worried nowadays about the welfare of children when the fact of the matter is that kids practically raise themselves. Parents aren't the only influence on the modern day child. School, peers, television, literature, and society as a whole ensure that as a general trend, kids stay on the right track. On an individual basis, some kids get messed up. Yes, that's undeniable. But that's also a fact of life. It's impossible to give everybody the same oppurtunities. On a whole though, every generation overcomes the hurdles placed before them, and mature into functioning adults. We used to be so worried about whether or not all these pot-smoking hippies could successfully raise kids, or the effects of divorce on children. We thought single parenting was an impossibility. Yet, we have a functioning society today despite these percieved negative influences. Yes, children of single parents undergo a different developmental cycle than "normal" children, but that is simply the evolutionary nature of society. Our norms and circumstances change, but the whole stays functional.

Very well put rm' but the first impact that helps to define ones self is your home life, at least mine was. I think having been brought up the environment I did helped mould me and push me into the direction I did. That isn't always the case and not necessarily the best thing for me either.

Having said that my family could have been like "Leave It To Beaver" or "Full House" for that matter and I would still have had the run ins with the law that I did, actually if I were raised in the "Full House" home I think I'd have a better excuse than I do now

Some parents deserve to be shot

[rm']

As do some kids, but we usually don't, because those are simply the trials and tribulations of life. We cannot expect to give everyone a perfect childhood. Has the licencing of autos eliminated car crashes? No. Has the licencing of firearms eliminated gun deaths? No. However, when things get really severe, child abuse and neglect laws step in. I think that the system as-it-is is sufficient.

You would be very very surprised at how little the law can do, and how hard it is to prove child abuse.

[rm']

That, I suppose, depends on the country you live in. As for proving child abuse, my dad is a child psychiatrist, and there are many tools and signs at his disposal to detect and deal with abuse.

There was an incedent of two early teens over here having a child i think they were around 16. This really is two young too have kids and really is so unfair to the child, as it dont matter how much you think you are grown up at that age, nothing prepares you for parenthood and the sacrafices we have to make (or should be making in some cases). Children should be taught to respect their parent, how they gonna do that when mum calles them little fu..ers and dad clouts them round the back off the head or more. Children learn at an amazing rate when they are young, if you dont interact with them and dont give them the help they need to get into a normal learning mode then of course the kids will run riot. My Son is 3 i raise my voice a decibell and he stops whatever it is he's gonna do, I've never laid a finger on him. if you dont get the respect from your child that you need to be able to guide them properly by the time the are around 5-6 or even as early as 4 then your chances of regaining it dramatically reduce everyday that goes past. Treat kids with the respect they deserve..They dont know anything and the wont learn from a non interactive parent.

When I used to live in NY, I would walk in the Bronx, or anywhere in Brooklyn, this young mother with a 2 or 4 year old kid, telling him/her to Shut THE fu-CK UP, and smacking them so hard. Kid then starts crying, and the mother slaps him again to shut up. Poor kid can't stop crying cuz they are hurting so bad. Mothers would see their kid running around and yell at them to stop. They are little kids for goodness sakes!!! Let them be kids!
