But who was the one there for events for the children when they needed parent assistant, cupcakes, jog-a-thon, chapperone, ive done it all the gangbanger...thats right, Adrians dad is always there he's a good kid, theses people had no idea, the upper class kids with a 2 parent up bringing were the little bad ass kids that didnt listen, and parents never showed up for shit! These people just thought that my son was spoiled and his parents have cash, Im not rich, I do good, and I take care of my boy and he sees it and acts appropriatley and he is kindly rewarded for it! My richness comes from seeing him act like a gentleman and it takes work!  |
Cool, it seems like you do take things seriously, and I don?t doubt you are a good parent.
Still though, don't make the mistake everyone else seems to. Treating kids like kids. They aren't kids.
They are young adults, with their own personalities, and opinions. They are people, so treat them like people.
It?s funny how everyone likes to scapegoat the parents when ?kids? do something ?wrong?.
No, sorry. While I can agree it?s the parenting to some extent?. Say if a kid was tied up and raped his entire life in a basement, and then does similar once he is living on his own?. Well, who wouldn?t expect that kid to be fucked up.
On the other hand, if your kid goes through a lot of abuse in school, then suddenly shoots as many people as he can, that has absolutely nothing to do with good or bad, ?parenting?
It has 100% to do with that 'kids' personal life?s experience. Now, while it?s a stupid thing to do, kids are immature, and don?t look forward too far, nor do they have life experience to help guide them.
When will people wake up? Oh wait, never.
