Good parenting is lots of hard work.
Yep! It is. And the parents should be consistent, and have a back
bone.
Often otherwise
loving parents give up when they've had a hard day and they have to
get up
from the couch once again to discipline junior for the 5th time that
evening.
5th time because they haven't taught the kid any manners, and the kid
hasn't
ever had to pay a price. Interestingly, the day comes when he/she
will.
Society, in general, has little tolerance for such people. Imagine the
rude awakening when a kid pulls the usual BS as a young adult and loses
a
good job because the boss doesn't have to put up with it.
On the other hand, there might *never* be that "rude
awakening." There are plenty of adults (including
middle-aged and over) going around with a certain
constant bewildered expression on their face. Totally
and chronically confused as to just "WHY" all us mean
nasty people refuse to give the Entitlement Freak
whatever s/he wants. And just "WHY" we refuse to
tolerate his/her obnoxious behaviour.
The Entitlement Freaks are each On A Mission to prove
that they are indeed, the centre of the universe, and
that everybody else "owes" them.
No clue at eighteen, no clue at thirty, no clue at
forty... No clue *ever*.
Pretty hard to improve on that!
