Too soft, some of you. Kids need to know their place, and they need to know it from a tender young age. Talking back is not part of the program. Watching TV when you have work to do is not part of the program. Staying out past curfew is not part of the program. Running around the restaurant screaming and laughing is not part of the program. You will sit down and behave, unless the parents tell you otherwise. If not, there will be consequences. Kids need to know that.
I've seen the kids that don't. The ones that think they're invincible. The ones with no humility and no respect for anything. The ones with foul mouths and bad attitudes. The ones that just don't "give a fuck." Well, you can either make them give a fuck now, or they can learn it when they're staring down the business end of a semi-automatic.
Oh, and just a few years ago I was the kid being disciplined. So no, I'm not the abusive parent trying to hold on to their morals.
