How not to bring up your children

Through the recent years, I have been bemoaning the upbringing of the younger generation here. From kids who come from families so rich that they are given exotic or powderful cars even before they turn 18 to kids who do illegal things and their parents condone it. Please let this madness stop... They are our future and if things turn out this way, I would rather not have such a future. So many children, teenagers are so spoilt rotten that they do not even consider about anything other than themselves. In their lives, they think that the whole world owes them and not the other way around.

Just take the example of a kid who posted on twitter his exam papers and instead of being repentant,now posts that he is driving his mom's company cars without a license. As a parent, I would be incensed. Yea... maybe he will inherit the business one day and he does not have to worry about his future. But then lets face it, right is right and wrong is wrong. When my monster does something wrong, she gets it from me and my wife. No matter how cute she is. When she throws a tantrum, we make sure she learns not to do so again or we will be very angry. When she bangs things or drags things that makes noise that will irritate others, we stop her in her tracks. Why??? It is because of the simple fact that we do not want someone else to do the same thing to me.

Now, if this mother allows her rather ugly son to do as he wishes, then one day, if something happens to him, he crashes into someone or gets himself killed, she will rue the day she ever was so lax on him. And it is true for all parents. The kid who crashed into the taxi driver and killed him, he may not be repentant now, but one day, he will have to pay for it. Just like the idiot who killed the Mazda sales girl, he is now a criminal and will not be able to get a license for the next 9 plus years. If course he can drive without a license or plan for the day he can get his license and his parents can get him another powderful car, but hey, if he crashes and this time kills himself, doing justice for society, his parents will be jolly sad...

Ladies and gentlemen, it is still not too late to repent. It is still not too late to bring your kids back into the fold and to teach them proper values. In this society where money talks and walks, money is not everything.
