The start of the trouble is when the gov stopped parents chastising their kids, a short sharp smack never did us any harm, then we went on to pay no hopers to have many more kids and not control them cos its too much effort.
Then the gov stopped the teachers chastising the kids, a rap across the nuckles with a ruler was the choice in my school, so no respect there.
Then the police were dummbed down and made to take account of criminals feelings but not the victims. Criminals have no reason to NOT be criminals.
Now we have a young society that doesnt give a hoot about anything or anyone except themselves.
Im sick of it!
When my kids were young we encouraged their friends to come and play at our house. Well my daughter aged 8 had a friend she used to invite round and we found out this kid was stealing from us so I went round to the parents to tell them. The parents were doo good liberals and tried to turn it around on my daughter saying she should share her stuff!!
I replied that if I xcaught their daughter stealing again I would report it to the police.
The mother then slammed the front door in my face, I walked 3 steps away from the door and had a mad moment and back kicked the front door off its hinges with the mother underneath it!!!!
MY Oh picked her up with the words, "dont p*ss off Jackie"
Now when both girls grew up my daughter got a good education never got into trouble with the police or drugs, She had a good career and a stable marriage plus their own flat now a 11 month old.
THAT girl got thrown out of school, got a police record for drug use by 15, had her fist child at 14, her second at 16 and god knows how many now and lives in a lousy council estate with interchangablel 'uncles' for the kids.
Kids need firm boundaries and consequences not liberal undestanding with mum being a friend as it just doesnt work!!!
