I have said for along time that parenting today is a lot of the problem with society. Like most people on here, growing up didn’t involve a video game, phone or tv. It was working, chores or whatever else you were told to do. There wasn’t no staying inside. I was outside from daylight to dark. Wasn’t allowed to come in the house till dinner time. If I was too dirty to come in, mom or dad would spray me off with the water hose in the yard.

That’s the problem with youth today, their parents sit them in front of tv or whatever so they can do their own thing.

We don’t have cable at our house. My kids are outside as much as possible or helping me when I am home doing projects or just playing with them. When I am at work they help momma with the household chores. They are 6 and 4 and use manners with everyone.

Rant over for now


I would rather be tried by 12, than carried by 6.
