CC's take on parenting wins.  |
I wasn't totally disagreeing with him? Just saying his post was a little too "back in my day" and a little bit too judgey of the parents of today. Yeah, following a bus around is ridiculous. But keep in mind when you were a kid, the city and communities were smaller, neighbours knew more about each other (and actually... *gasp* spoke to each other) and the knowledge about potential dangers and impacts were less.
Kids grow up and kids change. Parenting is one aspect of many influences that shape a person. If a 13 year old kid is spouting off, does that mean they'll do it when they mature? Not necessarily. There will always be good people, bad people, nice people, stupid people, jackass people, hilarious people... just because you were raised a certain way, doesn't mean other ways are wrong. That's all I'm saying.
