@mollymalone Said No parent has ever been given a rule book when their children where born. Most parents try to bring up their children the way they where brought up .
I may be old fashioned when I say this but I do honestly feel, that we do give our children too much. And it s all our own fault the way they live.
We want to give them what we didnt have, but we are also not giving them what we did have e.g.
One parent at home to cook, clean, homeworks, watch the kids. etc.
I am not saying it should be like that, but with two parents both working, life in a hurry, they dont have time for the kids, so its here money for this, that and the other, convenience food at home so if kids are hungry they can fend for themselves. New computers, games, t.vs etc to keep the kids quiet while parents have a rest or lead their own life.
I feel we need to go back to basics.
Hooray!!!
yes, I agree.... Although, this is less the fault of the perents, as it is the times themselves. Cuz like, you know, it's so hard to have just one working parent!!!
