[quote=Anonymous]13:27 back to say that that it is reassuring to hear that I'm not alone in my observations. I feel like I'm waging a one-Mom war sometimes! The thing that appalls me is the sassiness I see in young children and how they openly challenge, correct and defy adults. I see it with my nieces and nephews, in the classroom, at church activities, coaching - and with my own kids (but at least I can intervene). Most concerning is the experience of having a young (7-10) year old neighbor kid respond, "why?" when I announce that it is time to help clean up, or go home or move his bike out of the driveway. I was raised that the correct answer in the above situations was, "Yes, Mrs. Smith." Not "really?" or "how come?"[/quote]
