maybe some are, not mine. im 23 now, so not too old.
I used to get the cold water wake up call, if not that then Rule Britania played at full volume just outside my room.
If i missed the bus i walked 3 miles, alot of it up hill, if i skipped school i got beaten, if i skipped the beating i got locked out of the house.
i had to be dying to get a day off, had two broken arms and a broken knuckle and they made me go in 4 days after surgery.
i wouldnt change it for the world and respect them for what they forced me to do as a kid. but MAN, at 16 when i went to college, you better believe i skipped almost everyday and as soon as responsibilty became mine, i flaunted it at every oppertunity.
there has to be a happy medium between old fashioned parents from hell and new skool lame parents that let their kids do anything and still give them money each weekend.
disipline, but not quite to the extent some got, would have made me more likely to be responsible when i finally made it away from their vice like grip.
maybe im wrong, but i think somewhere between harsh and pathetic is the way to go if i ever have kids.
as for the DA......i only go there with someone to duel or pratice, no one makes me fly at bish field A30 with the kiddies and newbs.
