My parents are Baby Boomers, but I am no bitch...I'll tell ya why.
I was a misbehaving little shit that got plenty of whoopings! When I brought home notes from school on my bad behavior: WHOOPIN! When I broke stuff around the house: WHOOPIN! When I made long distance phone calls and tried to blame them on my Sister: WHOOPIN! When my teachers called the house: WHOOPIN! When ever I pouted or had an attitude: WHOOPIN! At the age of 29 I am finally starting to piece it all together...they whipped me because they didn't want me to be a Bitch!
What I'm seeing these days is a new generation of parents who think their children were born perfect and need no discipline at all. I will call this generation of parents the Baby Boomer Bastards.
Baby Boomer Bastards were either whipped too much or not at all when they were kids. In turn, they have adopted this policy that Children are little adults who deserve respect instead of stern parenting (spankings). Actually, Children are adults-in-training who deserve love and good parents to do the training. What Baby Boomer Bastards don't understand is part of loving (training) your child is disciplining them.
In order to learn how to be an adult, you have to learn how to respect adults. The difference between Me and a Baby Boomer Bastard is that I believe these little shits should respect ALL of the adults in their lives; Aunts, Uncles, Teachers, Babysitters, Police Officers, and so on. Baby Boomer Bastards raise their children to only respect themselves. This "no one spanks my child but me" attitude trains your kid to disrespect and talk back to every adult but you.
Don't you ever notice how these days Teachers get labeled as being "too tough" for giving out failing grades instead of parents realizing that there is a good chance their kid could simply be a dumbass? The teachers aren't getting tougher, the standards are being lowered, parents are getting softer and as a result, the kids are getting dumber.
Also, saying stupid shit like "Spanking is not the best way to discipline a child" is just like saying "Jail is not the best way to punish a criminal." When a bad ass child knows that the adult in charge can not spank him, how do you think he will act? When a violent criminal knows that he will not get thrown in jail, how do you think he will act?
After writing all of this, I will admit that I, myself, am not a parent. But when you think of it, do I really have to knock someone up to be qualified enough to say that certain people should not have been born with reproductive organs? I don't have to be a father to know that I am not a Baby Boomer Bastard.
