When Do You Stop Enabling?
Okay, so I am going to do a little ranting right now and in NO way will be ashamed of what I have to say.
Here is MY truth to all parents that enable your children to believe that they do no wrong, you are wrong for enabling your children in this belief.
We as parents at some point have to realize that our children are not angels, mine included. They go to school and use their potty mouths, call their friends names and then talk about who they have or had not had sex with. Now if you don't have middle school or high school children you should know right now these are all the wonderful things you have to look forward to.
I say these things only because as of recently my two oldest children have encountered these things. I want to know when did we as parents start to not give a thought to how our child treats another person, or what kind of behavior our children exhibit. Such as in the case of a young man trying to say he slept with someone that he didn't and then go onto a socializing network and try to blast her out. Do you as parents not regulate or read what your children are saying on facebook? As this young mans parents where are your morals and ethics or are they just acting as you showed them. Or the young girl that claims to be your friend and then in the same breath calls you a slut or tells you how UGLY you really are, what a great behavior they have learned.
I am absolutely appalled at the things these children say to each other in school, at home, and especially on Facebook. But what appalls me more is that their parents do not give a damn. They have no discipline because in the parents eyes it's either "kids will be kids","all kids tell lies" or "my child would NEVER do that". Well I am here to tell you, YOUR child did and does do that.
As a parent myself I know that my child will always tell me what they want me to hear. You never hear the other side to it, unless you are reading Facebook and then you can often see for yourself the lies that are spread. My children are in NO way angels people, my children have used and probably will use all of the behaviors that they have been taught not to use, but I can admit that. I have not and will never enable my children to believe that they do no wrong or that they are better than anybody.
I say to all of you parents, take more interest now in how your children act, because your enabling does not in any way help them. It only destroys their character and in some cases the characters of others. Want to know why children go home and commit suicide? Want to know why children go into our schools with guns? Well I will tell you it is these types of behaviors that cause other children to do these things. Now as a parent, how would you feel if it was one of your children that caused one of these scenarios to happen. Could you live with yourself or would you just keep denying the truth about your child doing no wrong?
Well as for me, I encourage my girls to keep moving and not look back, their life has not been ruined by anyone or anything someone says. That when school is over, they will not even remember these people. That who they thought were there friends, well they will find really none of them are, but maybe a select few. I let them know that when these people act this way to them they should be the better person and not reciprocate the behavior that is being exhibited to them, because you are only sinking to their level. And they are not and will never be worth it. Now in that same breathe when it comes to my girls honor, I do tell them to defend it by any means necessary. For me as their parent, I will no longer stand by and watch when others get on their socializing networks and start spouting out their lies. I do not know everything about my girls, but there are somethings I am absolutely sure of still. And I will defend their honor until the end. So the next time your child might be on Facebook and he/she might be running his mouth about my daughter, he/she might just get more than he asked for.
If I have offended any of you, well then maybe you should examine why you would be offended, but I can show so that you can see with your own eyes an example of the things that are said on Facebook, if you want.
