Intro to Parenting
Hey are there any other parents that notice all their children's friends are: ungrateful, spoiled, awful, sarcastic-mini-hipster versions of their parents?
I took my daughter and her friend out for ice cream yesterday. I'm poor, (single father paying child support) and on a budget. I said you may have a cone and a scoop. My kid orders a vanilla single scoop. What does her friend do? Orders a double. Dipped in chocolate. Then precedes to look at me, (after taking a monster bite of her monster cone) and smile at me. "It only cost a bit more." This coming from the friend that announced, "Why's your tv so small? My dad's tv is way bigger!" when she enters my home. I about lost it. What really kills me is; never a thank you. Never. My daughter is 12 and NONE of her friends say thank you. They are all entitled - regardless of broke or wealthy parents. Now. Do you just take comfort that your kid isn't going to grow up to be a selfish, narcissistic asshole? Just grin and bear it with these kids? You can't parent other people's kids, but can you say something? Ugh. I asked my daughter's mom last night about it. We commiserated and came to the conclusion that our kid's generation is the worst. They never say please or thank you. You take them go-cart racing and is soon as they're getting out of go-cart; they announce they're bored. They treat adults like their peers; making rude and sarcastic comments. IT'S AS IF NO ONE IS PARENTING THESE KIDS! No one is telling them ANYTHING about manners, life, or how to treat others. Is it like this in other countries? Is it just Americans? Would love to hear back from some KATG parents on this. Last edited by J. Canines; 06-28-2014 at 02:16 PM. Reason: clarification |
