| It Suprises Me... |
...How quick and easily people can change huge parts of their life or personality.
If you've watched, "World's Strictest Parents", you might have seen how every disruptive and majorly screwed up teen on the show somehow changes their ways in just 1 week.
I doubt they have the brains to figure out that to make life easier for themselves during the week they should just submit to the rules of their new parents, so it seems they have genuinely changed their lease of life in less than 7 days.
How is this possible!?
I've always been a basically 'good' child throughout my life, but I imagine that if I went to one of those parent's houses for a week I'd see them as hypnotists and just try to stay on their good side all the time. I massively doubt their ability to mould me into one of their robot children in a week. Maybe those rebellious teens really are so thick that they can be shaped into being a 'good' child just as easily as they can turn 'bad' on their own.
It annoys me that these strict parents are even allowed to have children. In fact, the idea that psychological bullying can be used as a way of forming their child's mind sickens me.
If I stayed with them I'd tell them in a calm and mature manner (because that's the only thing that seems to get through to them) that I think they are in a sense, very unethical parents.
I think that parenting (and you can disagree with me since I have no experience of it) is about setting easy to follow rules, cutting the child slack every now and then, giving advice on what to do and not forcing anything upon them unless it is absolutely necessary.
These strict parents force their children into Religion, and for me, the best example of strict parenting being a leash that's too tight to allow a child to breathe is the family in America that had a 5 year old kid parading the streets with a, "God hates fags", sign.
Any parent that punishes a child's disobedience with a disproportionate amount of discipline is a bad parent in my opinion, no matter how well behaved their children are.
I could learn a few things from these parents, sure, that's true. But I think they'd learn a thing or two from me if I had to stay with them; mainly that their hearts are in the right place but their ways of parenting are almost brutal.
Oh well, I'm rambling, cya pepsi-colas,
and you cheeky muffins :)
