The Way Kids Are Raised

[FunInTheSunParticipant 8283]

I think a lot of kids (here in the USA) are raised to expect other people to serve them and provide stuff for them. I want to tell them that that is exclusively the role of their parents and relatives. Beyond the comfort of their household, humanity expects THEM to one day contribute something of value. And in return for their service, products, talent, etc., they’ll receive money to buy stuff (or personal favors). That’s the social contract we have had to deal with for centuries and it took me a while to realize this during the days of my youth.

It’s sad to see a teenager having a temper tantrum because (s)he didn’t get expensive birthday gifts, didn’t win first prize, didn’t get invited to a party, etc. Any parent that enables this behavior (instead of saying, “Well, that’s life, kid”) is doing a disservice to the child—as well as society—because (s)he will eventually experience early adulthood with unrealistic expectations. And some will act out in rage when their expectations don’t manifest.

"I saw that there comes a point, in the defeat of any man of virtue, when his own consent is needed for evil to win-and that no manner of injury done to him by others can succeed if he chooses to withhold his consent. I saw that I could put an end to your outrages by pronouncing a single word in my mind. I pronounced it. The word was ‘No.’" (Atlas Shrugged)

My first glimpse of entitlement when my daughter was age18. She married some guy and expected me to pay for it and then expected me to let them live with me for a tiny 2% fraction of what they made. Even your own children if they are girls expect for you to take care of them forever. This is some kind of fairy tale at best. Even though both my daughters are well over the age of majority they are adults and they are responsible for their own lives. I gave each one of them away and that’s it

MGTOW is not a movement, it is a way of life.

They may be of adult age according to the law, but I can guess if they’re anything like the 18-26 year olds I know, they are anything but adults.

That’s why historically dads would pay a young man to take the young hairbag off of their hands.

The last being the worst in terms of depth of untruthful programming of young men’s minds.

To be honest, I don’t know if people in the west are really growing up these days, most of the people I know suffer from arrested development “just taller children that’s all after all”.

With the family being destroyed, along with everything else…is it any wonder?

My kids (2) are raised by Yan and both are named Solomon!

The spoiled entitled brats are the byproduct of decades of feminism destroying families.
They give the kids everything and don’t use the word NO .
Kids need to be told no,you can’t have everything you want.

[TattooDaveParticipant 6952]

And so gentlemen you can see that when the end comes you no longer have control nor do you care about your daughter. They are simply some other man or some government control zombie. I had to get this ghost of a chance of that my daughters could be their own person. Not possible when it is women and their nature they can either be poisoned by their environment or there mother. If I could get 15000 men to read this. We’ve all had children some of them are daughters some of them might grow up to respect us and some will simply not

Thank the good Lord I don’t have any kids.

Amen. Letting a bunch of 18 year olds loose in the world, without a history of parental restraint, is setting them up for failure. A whole host of societal ills will most likely be perpetuated because some parents wouldn’t say “no” or they weren’t around to instill some discipline. Family courts have something to do with this because some judges think they know “what’s best for the child.” They are clueless.

It seems parents are trying to be their kids’ best friend rather than being responsible parents. Parents don’t say “NO” nor do they take away the technology as a form of punishment.

Back in my day in the 80s and 90s, I was taken care of, but I was also given limits, and when things didn’t as expected I was told that it’s how life works. However we were given trophies when I was on a bowling league and softball league just for being part of it.

Trouble is parents and the schools aren’t showing these kids any boundaries and don’t set limits. The other trouble is they’re too busy trying to protect these kids from feeling hurt by giving into their expectations. They also ban some playground games like tag because they think it will lead to injuries. They’re too busy trying to protect and pamper these kids when all they do is set them up for a world of disappointment and real world problems. It’s all this political correctness trash from the Left.
