Why are kids so disrespectful now? And why do parents allow it?

It's stupid how poor these kids act I wouldn't have thought of acting that way.

Parenting. I've actually lived with many parents who sleep when they want to, let their kids watch tv all day, self prescribe their kids or exaggerate symptoms to get add, sleep or other medications to drug their kids when they don't need to, don't have their kids on a regular schedule so it screws with them, different parenting styles or just absent or micro managing their kids.

Yup fun times, believe it or not this is the majority.

@SatanBurger then it boils down to why have kids. My cousins son is one of the few that's rightfully on meds, the Chang's is amazing!! But 9/10 kids don't need it. My 3 yr old is a handful right now but she's 3 lol. I'm glad I have a Dr who isn't too prescription happy

@SatanBurger I think that is with some parents, but I don't think it is the majority. But many doctors are very quick to describe ADHD meds with parents who are equally quick to accept those meds.

@Lynn1976 It's the majority especially the suburbs.

@SatanBurger Maybe there but I live in the suburbs and most of the parents here are good as are their kids.

My two kids certainly have their moments, but when they do they have consequences if is for disrespect, among other things.
