There is no one answer but know that in life God will always be there for you.

They do this in part because they are not mature enough to deal with the real world.  I'm not being critical of them. I have too many problems of my own.  These "kids" were not taught a great deal of personal responsibility as children.  That rests squarely on their parents shoulders. Now they are having children and have less chance of teaching their own children responsibility.  It will likely get worse before it gets better.  Some day maybe parents will step up to the plate.

You really hit the nail on the head with that one. I have more love and respect for my parents now that I have kids of my own. I understand more about them. They were never trying to ruin my life they were trying to keep me from ruining it. Just wish I would've listened more to them growing up. I would be so smart now. You never understand anyone's point of view until you're in their situation. My kids think I'm the meanest mama ever. If they only knew how good they really have it.

1. There are some parentst that are too selfish to pay child support and really just don't care...\n2. There are some parents who are angry and irritated at the fact they are being forced to pay such high child support and really can't afford it so they run from it\n3. Some parents try to get more leverage by withholding child support when the other parent is withholding visitation to the child\n4. Some parents get angry when they see the ex spending child support on anything and everything BUT the child that is having child support paid, and the parent can't afford the thousands of dollars it would take to get custody of the child\n\n  So, there are jerks, cowards, and good people that don't pay child support.   \n There are also jerks, cowards and good people that have custody of their kids.  It is really hard to call all parents who don't pay child support dead-beats.

sadly these days they seem to play a greater roll in childrens' lives than the parents. not so much an answer as a comisseration.

I believe that parents get wrapped up in their jobs and trying to provide for their family.  They also, sometimes, get wrapped up in their own lives.  Im afraid that I know of too many families that parents are too wrapped up in their selves to even pay attention to their children.  I dont think its right.  Parents should spend quality time getting to know their children.

Hmm, I believe you answered your own question. I would also agree that too many parents think school is too hard on their children, when the truth is that's the way it supposed to be. It's all about "stretching young minds."

Many different factors at play here. Two very important ones come to mind though:\n1) Different generations view things in a different light. Just as different cultures do.\n2)As parents we walk a fine line of protecting our kids, but letting them make their own decisions. This can backfire. By the time they're teens, they think they know whats best and want to prove it, and, as a parent, if you haven't created a close respectful relationship with your kid, you loose that grip.

Yes parents are way too easy on their children because:\n\n1) they are afraid to HURT their EGOS\n2) they would rather DRUG them with the many kiddie drugs than disipline them\n3) partents are too stressed out, over extended, over worked, over everything to think about their children\n4) the interest only loans will make partents care even LESS about their kids as the rates sky rocket\n5) self absorbed ALL ABOUT ME parents from the generation of overinduldged will ruin their kids

All parents are the same. And I used to feel the same way like you. But the things started to change once when I told them: "Sorry because I am not perfect! Probably, you have never made ANY mistake in your life!"

If I had a penny each time I ask myself the same question...\nSadly most of the time is the same family and the social circle that show the kids the ways of prejudices, even people wake late in life and see that is wrong, while we are kids our parents trying to protect us shows to avoid people that are different or don't behave like they think is normal or acceptable.

I am a step mom to my husbands three children and he to my 3 children.  We both felt that when we married the other would have that right.  We each feel that if done in a proper way that the other should have that right.  We went thru the you are not my mom or dad things and that's ok but in the end what ever punishment was handed out was still there.  I do so because I want them to turn out to be responsible adults.  That's how we learn in life is by the punishments and rules in life are handed down by our parents and weather they are biological parents you will find rules suck but they have to be followed.  That's what works for us. I am mainly the one at home most with our last son at home so even though I am his step mom I punish more than his dad.  He does not like it sometimes but does abide by what I say.  Wish you lots of luck sweety!

It's all on me, baby! Sometimes I blame my parents for the way the raised me, but for the most part I take responsibility for my problems. I usually chalk it up to inexperience. Life doesn't come with an instruction manual.

Because too many parents want to be their children's friends, so there is no discipline or limits in their lives.\n\nOur kids don't need friends. They have those already. They need parents who set clear standards and rules, and expect their kids to try and live up to those rules.

I blame the parents. They need to crack the yardstick. I got my rear smacked a few times and it made me be a better parent to my kids cause I didn't turn out to be some spoiled snot that thought I should be able to get away with everything. The T.V. and the web has plenty of filth that the kids have access to while Mom's at the career.Sorry, but if you plan a family I feel one parent should stay home and raise them and if you can't afford kids don't have them until you can or don't have more than one !
