The clash of  parents and children.?
817416
It really depends upon the culture. I knew a girl who was Saudi, but raised in Venezuela (another culture repressive to women). She was a student of mine in college and clashed frequently w/her traditional parents, since she wanted to become a doctor. \n\nKids and parents of all cultures usually clash, to some degree or another. Even parents (like a lot of aging Hippies I know!) who are pretty loose on discipline, have fights with their kids and sometimes the kids suffer from not enough discipline, whereas in our culture, it's usually TOO MUCH discipline (esp. if kids are hit...that's just wrong!). \n\nWhat you're describing sounds like basically the same thing that every immigrant group has gone through in some form: the older generation wants to keep tradition but the younger generation wants to be Americanized. \n\nThe main thing is to realize the kids aren't doing this out of lack of love or respect. You need to let them go and mesh with the new society, but be there for them if they need a place to come back to, and they usually do. \n\nDon't alienate your kids just because they're not exactly like you!

The effects on children can be bad IF parents act stupid. Remember, they are getting the idea that this is a "normal" relationship. Both parents must NEVER speak negatively about the other parent, no matter how much they can't stand the other one.  The children love both parents and do not want to hear it.  They will not be brainwashed into not liking one parent better.  I've seen it backfire where the child begins resenting the negative parent because they are saying bad things about the other parent.  The children must know they are loved by both parents, and the divorce has nothing to do with them.  Even if you think they know it, reinforce it as much as possible.  Hopefully, the parents will put on a positive, united front for the kids' sake.  Never discuss child support issues in front of the children.  It is not their business and not their responsibility. It can be okay when both parents work together for the best outcome for the kids (i.e. putting the kids before themselves!!).

Parents that are not attentive to their children, parents whom are not supportive of their kids, parents who abuse eachother in front of the kids, parents who are emotionally or physically abusive to the kids, instability in the home, lack of nurturing, hopelessness, no goals in life because of discouragement, etc.

I think most of the domestic conflict starts through television. Spouses and kids spend too much time today in watching the idiot box than interacting with each other.Result a so invented generation gap. Parents dont know what thier kids think and kids dont know what is right and wrong.

The number of children a family has should be decided(for the most part) by the couple.  It should be a mutual thing to raise the children, so it should be a mutual thing to decide how many to have.  But they should take into account things like finances and emotional ability to handle children.  The only exception that I see to this is cases where the parents are incapible of caring for their children or are abusive to them.  In those cases, the government should protect potential children from the harm such an upbringing would cause(by not allowing them to be conceived in the first place).

It's obviously hard on everyone involved, but it can really be more tramatic for children, expecially since there are so many things going on that they don't fully understand.  Their world is being turned upside-down; if there is split custody, their schools, homes, and pretty much everything else in their life is going to be dramatically changed.  They often blame themselves for mommy or daddy leaving, and they feel conflicted about loyalties towards parents (mom hates dad, but I love dad, so is mom going to hate me?). And the stress that the parents are experiencing can also affect the way they treat their children.  However, you have to weigh the pros and cons of a divorce: Raising children in a hurtful/distructive/abusive marriage v.s. putting them through a divorce.  Sometimes, a divorce is the best option for a family, as everyone will be better off in the end.

I would have to contribute this partly to the parents.  These days, parents are not as involved in their children's education as they once were.  Also, there is a growing number of parents who condone WHATEVER it is that their child is doing (even if it is the wrong thing).  The parents will always come to the child's defense and blame everyone else.  Additionally, there is a lack of discipline in the homes because parents are afraid to firmly (spanking) discipline their children because of legal retort.  And last, I will have to say that the government is doing very little to support educators (teachers and instructors).

Sounds like a dysfunctional family.  Try to deep the children away from her as much as possible.  There has got to be an underlying reason for this kind of hostility.  Any idea what that could be?  Does your husband have anything to say about this?  I wish I had some profound words of wisdom for you, but I am at a loss.

No divorce is easy, but there needs to be the right kind of communication between the parents and children involved. They need to know it's not their fault and that they will still have a family even if it means the father and mother not living together. The worst is when the child hears the one parents  bad-mouth the other, so that should be avoided at all costs. It makes the chil pick sides in defense and confuses them on the matter.

I think so. Unfortunately not all adults are mature and I don't think you should depend on one parent to give you a fair assessment of the other parent.  It's quite apparent that the two didn't get along, other wise they would still be together or at least be friends for the sake of both being productively in their child's life.

Its up to the parents.

Depends on the parent and the child.  I would say that parents have usually lived more years than their kids, so the possibility that they may have learned more does exist - whether they have availed themselves of that possibility is another issue altogether.

If they are only good for arguing fire their sorry a$$es and find some new parents. Better yet get a job, move out on your own and support yourself.

Unfortunately they probably never will. Everyone thinks what they believe is the truth and the only truth. It is sad that people aren't more accepting of other people's differences. I do think the main problem is what they are taught at home. More and more people have children yet don't bother to parent their children. They figure they are too busy and they expect everyone else to do it for them. In the mean time they aren't being taught morals and compassion. And then everyone wants to know what is wrong with the world. It starts at home. If people would take the time out of their "busy" lives to be good role models for their children, their children wouldn't grow up to be such miserable hateful adults. I am never too busy for my son. And I promise you, He will not grow up to be that way. It is just too bad everyone else is't as concerned about the way they conduct themselves nowadays. The majority of the people I come Across on a daily basis are rude, impatient, disrespectful, judgemental, and self absorbed. I try to hold onto the belief that most people are good people though, and I do believe they are, I just think maybe they lose track of things that really matter, and are more concerned with trivial matters. But I totally hear ya!!!!!
