The thing about me is... i dont like people screaming their heads off unless its me who's screaming. And with good reason. I've been hearing loads of people screaming and never once i liked what they screamed, and who they screamed. Most times it was between siblings like the older brother and the little sister - typical sibling rivalry. Either they'd be fighting over toys or attention, they'd scream and scream until they are satisfied. It don't matter what time, what day, or how late, they'd just raise their little heads and scream their little lungs out. And guess what, i can hear them loud and clear. They're not even too far from my house - probably a few levels below me. But that isn't the point of this post. The true point is: where are the parents? Why aren't the parents screaming back, telling them to stop bothering the neighbours and pipe down? I mean, seriously, what purpose does a parent has if it's not to stop their children from doing things that're not appropriate and that could possibly ruin their own image as parents? Am i not right to say this? I mean really, doesn't it get you thinking?
Maybe those parents are just too darn tired to scream back but please, if you have enough time to do other important stuffs in your life, putting some discipline upon the kids you have conceived is one of those important stuffs. Not only because of your image as a parent, but for your children's future. Clearly, if they are to be screaming through their childhood, not just a sore throat but a terrible attitude will be fused into their system. And people, THAT AINT HEALTHY. I mean seriously, couldn't you just stomp your feet and stop them? You're disturbing the pleasant peace i used to have when i was little. I admit i had my moments but my parents are decent enough to stop me and teach me the proper ways of living. Screaming your head off just so you could get attention and whatever the hell you want, isn't the right thing to do or the right way to have. Gotta induce(sp?) some discipline here. Sheesh.
Now i understand why parents are as irritating as they are when we were suffering during our childhood. As they yelled and yelled, we're actually moulded into the proper people that we are now. It is not the little satisfaction they would have after slapping our faces silly after doing something childish, it is the fact that they're making us good people and to understand that you can never have things your way like those days in childhood. Children these days are not like the children of yesterday. They have turned not just into monsters, but indespicable brutes, bigger bullies, and difficult, unstable minds. [Sorry for what i just said but i'm only saying in general. Do drop by an angry comment in the tagboard. =) ]
I've seen so many terrible kids and i can never understand why the parents aren't wearing the pants in the house. It's like the kids are the parents and the parents are the hopeless kids. Kids seemed to have taken over their own parents and despise them if they never get the thing they want. And when they do get it, they take it for granted and ask for more. They'd go the distance to get the stuffs they want - bawling on the ground, stomping their feet, beating their parents up and ruining the image of their parents AS parents. I know sometimes when you love you child it's just toooooo darn hard to say no and discipline them for their own good but please, think about their future. The more you pamper them, the more terrible they'll become and i aint saying about the things they'll get, but the values they'll lack. Like respect, self-control, understanding, patience, self-recognition. Aren't those worth having then materialistic stuffs? I'm sure...
Oh well, i've said enough and i'm sure there'd be people out there who'd both disagree and agree so no matter. You say whatever you want. But just censor the vulgarities and get to the point. =)
Much love~!
