“Some people accuse the new generation of
being ignorant, maybe ignorant for the old generation, but it’s a new language.”
Domenico Dolce
I feel like venting, so here I go:
It’s a lot to be said about our younger generation. In all
honesty I have never seen anything like them before in my life (As if they were
aliens from a different planet). Yes I know, we were once their age BUT, the
difference is we had more respect and feared our parents a lot more than the
children have today. These children have no fear. They believe they are
invincible to any type of consequences in life.
Can you
relate to what I am talking about?
Several of my friends and I have children around the same age.
The ages may vary by three or four years. It is amazing when we get together
and our conversations at times go hand and hand. We all know we raised
respectful children but their actions since they have become older makes it
seems as if they were raised by a pack of wolves. No, seriously!
I was having a conversation with this older lady not too long
ago and she was talking about her young adult grandson. She said “I swear I
don’t understand this generation.” I said “ma’am I don’t either.” She said “I
ain’t never seen nothing like them.” I made the statement “ma’am I think it was
the Similac milk we were feeding them because they are all crazy.” She said
“well I have said that all along it had to be something in that milk. I fell
out laughing, because I truly believe something was in the milk." There is no
way possible that all of our children around the same age have seemly lost
their minds at times. There is no way you are going to make me believe that is
was not the milk!
What are
your thoughts on this?
Do you
see this generation being totally different from when we grew up?
The saving grace for my friends and I is that we are able to
get together and lift one another up during these hectic times in our lives. We
do not have to feel that we are alone or that it is only our child that behaves
this way. We all sit and laugh and have concluded that we have all done things,
some worse than others, BUT compared to this younger generation there is no
comparison. There is no way we would have ever tried or done the things some of
our youth are doing in today’s time. NEVER!
And, let’s not think of some of the things that will come out
of their mouths, and they call it “Freedom of Speech!” Really??? We had no
freedom of speech, oh wait, yes we did, it was followed by “what did you just
say?” And, there goes that back hand to your lips! Praise the Lord, I have
never experienced this but I know others that have. I had fear of just thinking
about it happening to me.
There have been many instances where I feared going to jail.
No, seriously! I always tell people don’t be surprise if you see me on the news
segment “Street Beat!” These kids today will take you there sometimes and you
just might snap and forget that they are your children. I’m just keeping it
real with all of you! Again, I truly believe it is the milk we fed them.
I know there are others out there that is feeling my pain!
TALK TO ME, NAH….
Remember, whatever you are going through with your child or
children know that you are not alone. Everyone faces challenges with their child
or children at some time or another. It may not be the same challenge as yours
but none the less, it is a challenge.
Thanks for allowing me to vent!
