I Want To Talk About Parenting

Do you teach your children to respect adults? I mean to talk to them with the respect they deserve? I'd be mortified if I found my kids acted the way some kids do nowadays. My coworker was telling me he doesn't respect his teachers calling one a b*tch a** ni**** because she told him to give her his phone he was using during class. The rule is no phones out in class and he actually told her that and thinks he was in the right. I'd have beat his a** and made him turn it over telling her enjoy the phone he doesn't deserve it. That's not even the worst I've heard about kids nowadays and I tell kids did you earn respect? Nope you don't get to decide when you get respect you have to become an adult and then start to earn it. Being born doesn't mean you earned it unless your parents hate you so they don't raise you right. I tell my kids I better never hear them demand respect or not give it to all adults or they will regret acting stupid.

I grew up answering people with "yes sir / no sir" or "yes mam / no mam" and taught my sons to do the same. I went to private schools and we even answered other students this way and called each other "sir" or Mr.

I really think parents raising entitled children should not have been allowed to have any as the parents nothing but self-absorbed narcissists and they are creating more.
