Hi having read all the threads I couldn't agree more with you. I have two children and they believe that I am really hard on them because i don't let them wear, do or say the things that their friends are. I find alot of the problems now are the parents alot of parents really don't care any more. For example I live near a bus stop and the other day a small boy waiting for the bus with his mum was running all over our gardens. I went out to ask him to stop as its private property and I don't want my garden to get wrecked and the mum told me to Fuck Off before she came and knocked my block off. Now sorry if that was my kid I'd have slapped him before anyone could come and have a go and if they did I'd have slapped him harder for not doing as he was told and respecting peoples property no matter what the age. I really think it is about time that parents take responsability for their children otherwise I really don't want to see the world in the comming generations.
