I’m gonna talk about YOUR kids!

 

I do nooooot like your kids! Ooooh I’m so tired of them, talk about Ratched lol

Ok parents; let me talk to you all for a second.  I think its time for a little disclosure on my part which is for those that don’t know me personally, I do not have children.  Its never really been my desire to have children so I took precautions.  If I’m ever to have kids I want it to be with whomever I’m married to period. That’s just my requirement.  The circumstances that led up to you being a parent matters little now.  Now, the question is what are you gonna do with these people that you made?

Your kids don’t know how to act and that’s your fault.  Your kids don’t value an education, also your fault.  Your kids don’t respect authority and that’s DEFINITELY your fault.  Your kids are spoiled and guess what? Yep, that’s your fault too.  Now if your kids aren’t any of the above then this message isn’t for you.  In fact, I may ask the good parents to say ‘Amen’ once I’m through.  If your kids are one or more of the above and they are under 18 years of age then this message is for you and I’m going to try to help you redeem yourself.

Those that might be offended are probably saying I don’t know what I’m talking about because I don’t have kids.  The fact remains that I could be a better parent than you just based on what I’ve READ about children.  Believe me, some of you could benefit from a parenting class or two. 

So let me throw in an extreme example.  I love Maury! Anyway, I’m sure you’ve all seen his shows about out of control teens etc.  One guest was there with her daughter who was 14 or 15 and she was there crying and talking about her baby girl and how this wasn’t the daughter that she knew and all that jazz.  So they cut to the backstage shot of the teen.  She’s wearing some horrendous outfit that looked it was made by ‘Hookers United’ and she has purple hair mixed with her blonde hair.  When they cut back to the mom I notice she has hot pink hair mixed with her blonde hair.  Instantly, I had no sympathy.  My question to the mother would be, “Is she trying to be like you or are you trying to be like her?” 

Stop trying to be your child’s friend.  Its making you look like you don’t care. The point I want to make is that you can be your child’s friend later on in life after you’ve gotten them to adulthood.  My mother wasn’t my friend until I was grown.  Before I was grown, she and my father were the authority, period.  Now that I’m an adult she’s my best friend.  I’m thankful that she let God lead her and help her be the parent that she is, for my sake.

Children need structure and discipline.  They will make friends at school. You don’t really need to be one right now.  My mother made the final decision and I didn’t have to like the outcome.  Stop flipping out when your child cries because they can’t have something or do something they want to do.  They will be OK.  Life is full of disappointments.  They need to get used to that and understand, yes you feel sad, angry or whatever but that feeling passes and you move on to something else.  When life disappoints you, it’s not the end of the world.  You don’t have to kill yourself or other people because your upset that things didn’t go your way.  Sound familiar?  Your lunatics of today were once somebody’s children. 

 It’s so much more important to foster and nurture in them the belief that they can overcome. Look at the times we live in right now.  The news is absolutely depressing.  Don’t let your child raise themselves, don’t let the media, politics, or what’s ‘trending’, raise YOUR child.  Instill your morals and values, and if you don’t have any, GET SOME.  Help your child become more than what’s expected because, I don’t know if you heard, the current expectation is that your kid is likely to end up in jail. 

Its fine to allow your child to grow, express themselves and become who they are however keep in mind that they have to be able to survive in this world without you.  They have to also learn the rules to the game of life and how to play to win.  When was the last time your boss encouraged you to express yourself at the office? Not NEVA!  So teach your kid about what’s appropriate at home and what’s appropriate outside of home.

I could go on and on but before I make this too long I’ll leave you with this;

Your children are a reflection of you and your priorities.  If your child is 4 years old and has jordan’s, lebron’s, a cell phone and ipod but can’t talk worth a damn, YOUR IN VIOLATION.  You need to rethink some things.
