Tonight I realized that I am getting old. I am turning into my parents.
How I realized this:
We have a local Facebook forum and a woman posted about a group of teenagers stealing and vandalizing someone's property. Nothing particularly valuable, but that doesn't matter. She posted descriptions of the teens and their truck. Living in a small town it took minutes to identify them and alert their parents.
Well of course the local teenagers had to chime in how it was no big deal, whine and complain and act like little snowflakes that are victims of cruel punishment.
This triggered my asshole button. I became my parents and let into these little snowflakes and offered up my advice to the parents and what would happen if this were my daughter acting a fool and being a thief/vandal. This came much to the horror of the local teens.
My suggestion to the parents, being it is 2016 and knowing what will hit hardest to a teenager guilty of a petty crime? Public humiliation. If it were my daughter stealing/vandalizing my neighbors, she would stand at the busiest intersection of our small town with a "honk if you hate" sign stating her crimes. After which, the picture of her standing there would become the profile photo of her social media accounts for a month, which she would have no access to. From there, her peers could handle the rest. Thinking like a teenager, this is social suicide. Something greatly valued by kids these days. Far more than losing XBOX for a month or groundings.
Oh boy, the disrespectful, spoiled and entitled responses I got were beautiful. I thank my parents for laying the smackdown when I was being a little asshole. It made me an honest and respectful adult.

I was raised by parents that wouldn't think twice about busting my ass when needed.Pariah said:
I'm the same way with my kids.
A sore ass lasts a few moments.
A criminal record lasts a lifetime.
Yup. When I was little, I got my ass beat on the regular. I deserved it. I thank my parents for setting me straight! Spanking a teen might not be as effective in my eyes. You have to think like them and the culture we live in. They don't understand now, but in 20 years when they have kids of their own... It will be crystal clear.EvanWilliams1988 said:
If you are undecided then it's really not grinding your gears.......
What REALLY grinds my gears is, friends that I've had for a lifetime, or a long-ass time, are these fuckers that have a bunch of kids and then change. For the worse. Fucken "children". "It's all about the chil'rens"... "Look at Jonny... he's so cute stomping his feet".
yep, stomping your feet is an accomplishment nowadays. I guess.
meh~

fck kids, lil bastages. Ruin everything. Why I got neutered.... though 3 kids too late.
Always asking dumb questions too like "daddy I like the pretty pink light coming from your closet, what's that?" I'm like the boogie man is going through a disco phase. Stay the hell out my room. Chile Juju said:
