f*cking kids these days!

Completely agree dude, the power is being taken away from the parents. It's no one else's business how people raise their kids.

I like to think I was raised right I'd get a clip round the ear if I pushed my luck and no one batted an eyelid!

I think exactly the same mate, never did me any harm and sure as hell makes you think hard before doing something you shouldn't again, the main problem I think is that the parents are too scared of the consequences of anything they might do to discipline their own child, it shouldn't be like that but then its really just like everything else (you can't do this because........shite) and if you start to tell people what to do then they just stop thinking for themselves and expect to be guided through life! its never going to end well is it!

I don't think that's the complete reason though. It doesn't help that kids arnt taught how to live in the real world. Seems like parents now days bring their kids home from school (in their Chelsea tractor from the school that's 200yds down the road but that's another thing...) and dump them in front of the tv and that's it. I know not all parents are like that but it seems to be going that way. I was always taught that you should respect other people and especially people of authority (think its shocking how more and more 16 year olds get into trouble with the police and chat back. You do something wrong and get caught, you take it on the chin!). I was also taught though that if people have no respect for you, why should you have it for them? And that's why when the chavvy little shits near me try and take the piss, they just get shouted down...not had to hit any of them yet mind!

Even schools now are setting the example that kids don't have to do much. My school practically told me that when you leave, you sign on and a job will come your way or you can go to uni and walk Into a job after 3 years. I got in trouble several times because I argued with the teachers and had a pop at how much of a sheltered life they lead if they genuinely believe that.

as and when i get kids, i wont have any quarms about giving the kid a clip round the ear if they deserve it.

Oh yeah....I'm pregnant and it's yours. Sorry.

Repped. Iv'e got a 6 year old, she's an absolute diamond most of the time, but if she takes the piss, she gets one warning, follow by a slap. Thing is, it nearly never comes to the slap. The warning works because she already knows she cant misbehave and get away with it

Kids will mouth of to the police now now because they can get away with it. There is no come uppance for em. Back in the day, you'd at least get a belt round the ear for being gobby. saying that, I know someone in the met, him and his buddy called for a van to pick up some little shite that had been taking the piss all day, and got them to dump him somewhere out near crawley
