They aren’t taught to be respectful these days. When I mouthed off there were consequences. I don’t think they have consequences these days.

@MrsDavis Some Parents will defend their child for wrong things they’ve done even if the child is standing there holding the evidence. It happened at a fabric store where my sister-in-law worked. A woman came in with her young boy and he was tearing down racks of buttons and notions. My SIL walked up and told the mother she would appreciate it if she watched her child because he was tearing down the notions & throwing them on the floor. She replied “my son wouldn’t do anything like that” and there that boy was holding handfuls of carded buttons as she said it. That just sets the stage for the child to continue with their mischief throughout life.
