I’m so sick and tired of hearing about asshole parents trying to decide what’s “right” for their child. Like they‘re some sort of measuring stick on all things proper in life. Here’s a little tip mom and dad: You don’t know shit. Chances are that your parents were fuck ups, and now you’re trying to compensate, and run your kids life.
Yeah, its understood that you’re trying to protect your kid from gangs, drugs, animal sex, etc. but, there’s a point were you can draw the line. Some of this shit borders on being obsessive, which is NEVER cool.
Take for instance, Catholic school. Good idea, right? Well, unless you’re thoughts of a good idea are sending your kid to a place that forces ideas of religion and forces kids to dress the same, then no, it’s a bullshit idea. In essence, by sending your kid to a Catholic school, or a Christian school or any school that condones teaching one, and only one religion, you’re completely ignoring that little thing our forefathers came up with, a little number we all like to call “freedom of religion”. So much for the crazy notion of “believing in whatever you damn well please”. So as if course the whole doctrine of sodomizing these kids with religion isn’t enough, we’re going to make them all dress the same. Interesting. Reminds me of goose-stepping Nazi’s in World War II.
Yet, parents are in utter shock when they find their kids smoke and drink. It’s as if their kid is a complete fuck up now. After putting up with mom and dads bullshit for years and years, their kid decides to throw back a beer with a buddy and all of a sudden, THE KID IS THE PROBLEM. Ignore the fact that they’ve had all this shit forced onto them from the very beginning, and ignore the fact that half of these parents have no idea what the hell they’re doing, and yes it is their kids fault. So now, to pile on even more bullshit, mom and dad send their kid to counseling to try and figure out what the fuck is wrong with him.
Lets for once try letting kids make some decisions for themselves. If they don’t want to play sports, don’t force them. If they don’t want to play an instrument, don’t force them. If they don’t want to practice a religion, don’t let them.
By forcing this meaningless bullshit on kids when they’re young, chances are that they wont remember it when they’re older, and if they do, they’ll remember it as stupid shit that their asshole parents forced them to do, and it will only fill them with contempt for their parents. Lets let these kids learn from trial and error, if they touch the hot plate, they wont touch it again. If they go to church and enjoy it, let them go again, if not, drop it.
