as the 18 yr old son of an abusing mother and deceased drunk father. i cant tell you i rebeled alot.
i find most parents now adays are hypocrites.
they'll tell there kids not to do drugs. and then light up a joint right infront of them.
my mother told me to never get into smoking. then right after she'd say that. she would smokw half a pack and blow the smoke in my face.
my friends dad told him to never sell drugs. and then what does the dad do? sells pot to all the kids parents.
parents tell there kids to never talk back to them. but then what do the parents do? start talking back to THEIR parents right infront of the kids.
pretty much, you cant tell your kids to not do all this, then go out and do it yourself without the kids thinking "well why cant i do this too?"
ive been to juvenile 19 times. when my father was alive. he'd wake up at 9. have a pepsi max to wake up. then have a whole 12 pack drunk by noon. when he drunk he got mad. and would try to boss me around.
my father was only in my life 3 months out of the 18 yrs ive been alive. so naturally when he just showed up and started bossing me around, i thought " well who the hell are you to tell me what to do?"
i even told this too him. but he barked at me that it didnt matter how long he was in my life. he was my father and i was to bow to him whenever he said so.
we got into alot of fights. i broke his nose twice.
basically. parents today tell there kids to not do something, then go out and do that exact thing they told the kids not to do, right infront of the kids.
i think parents today need to learn what "lead by example" means.
