Generation Whiny-ass

A long time ago, in a high school not so far away, there was a young girl

who had a bit of a wild streak in her.

Ok, more than a bit.

I was a BAD girl.

But, when I did something really terrible and got caught, I knew it was over.

I took my punishment and made amends for my jezebel ways.

Kids today?

Not a chance in hell!

They whine, cry, cajole, beg, plead, throw a temper tantrum that puts my 4 year old to shame and after all that, if they still don't get the result they feel they're "entitled" to, they go on a hunger strike.

Really? Are you fucking serious?

*sigh*

Emotional blackmail.

I refuse to give in to it.

I eat that bullshit for breakfast.

The last couple weeks I have had the distinct displeasure to witness the complete melt down of a young person who fucked up majorly.

Long story short: Left the house at night to go to their "love of my lifes" house.

The person in question is very much a minor, the LOML is not.

The PIQ spent the night at LOML.

Not in the same room if you believe the LOML parents.

I have serious doubts.

I mean, they know that PIQ is a minor.

Why didn't they contact the parents of the PIQ?

I'll tell you why.

Apparently PIQ parents are abusive, and PIQ was scared.

HUH?

Well, according to PIQ they are.

So again I question LOML parents.

If they thought PIQ was REALLY being abused, why didn’t they then call the police?

Would you knowingly let a MINOR stay in your home knowing that the parents weren’t aware that said minor had left?

I sure as hell wouldn’t!

The whole abuse claim?

Complete bullshit.

I know PIQ's parents, and believe me, nothing could be further from the truth.

So now, because of these 2 selfish idiots, everyone and their Mother is involved.

Police, Child Services, Crisis Services, etc.

It's been a non-stop parade of people.

PIQ and LOML have been forbidden to be together anymore.

HA! Uh huh .... like that's gonna stop them.

Talk about pouring fuel onto the fire!

It’s all a bit too much “Romeo & Juliet” for me.

Really.

But you know what really chaps my delicate ass in all this?

Parents.

On all sides of this fuster cluck.

When did parents stop parenting?

When did parents lose their rights?

As a parent, I am liable and responsible for my child.

I can be charged and/or imprisoned because of their bullshit.

But hey, kids have rights too, right?!

“They” have empowered our children to lie and abuse the system.

This in turn also abuses the family.

The family pays the price for the lying brat.

I can barely raise my voice to my kid without someone raising an eyebrow at me in an accusing way.

What the hell is THAT?

So much for the “It takes a village to raise a child” theory.

The “village” likes to cast judgment and prevent me from actually parenting.

When did parents begin to fear their children?

Maybe I’m back asswards, but I am of the opinion that my children should fear me.

I realize that there are plenty of kids out there that ARE in abusive situations.

But the PIQ is NOT one of them.

Far from it.

I’m not saying this child should be flogged for their transgression.

PIQ is a kid, I expect kids to make mistakes and fuck up.

I also expect them to take ownership and realize what they have done.

Personal Responsibility.

PIQ has not.

PIQ acts like it’s everyone else’s fault and that WE owe them an apology.

Um ….. NOT QUITE.

PIQ is still playing games and lying, and I fear that it’s only going to get worse.

I see only bad things happening.

Or should I say, worse things happening.

So, what do we adults and parents DO?

I am not, nor will I ever advocate any form of physical punishment (slapping, flogging, etc) as a way to discipline any child.

But is it wrong that I want PIQ to walk around with a sign that clearly states their crime and how they’re treating their family?

Ok, yes, I know.

Public humiliation is also a form of abuse.

How about just around their house with the sign?

No?

Damn …..

I won’t get into the details of PIQs punishment thus far, but in my opinion, it hasn’t been near enough.

A lasting impression needs to be made, and so far, it hasn’t.
