[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Puh-leaze!  People have been going on about "kids these days" for 40, 50 years.  Probably longer.  Some people are good parents, some people aren't.  Sometimes, the behavior you witness is a child at its worst.  Sometimes it is the normal behavior for the child.  But at the end of the day, MYOB.  [/quote]

yeah - But back then, no one was "diagnosed."  Asperger's?  When I look back, I can list a handful of school mates who fit that description.  Opp. Def. Disorder?  Another school "chum" comes to mind.  These kids went to school with me and graduated.  One kid was literally an idiot savant - a social misfit who was a brilliant piano player who won a free ride to college.

So these days, now that we have a label for every behavior (LDGT anyone?) we also have strategies for handling some of these behaviors, and many of these strategies are PC, for lack of a better description.

And if you suck as a parent, guess what?  There's a class to help you improve!

Basically, in this day and age, good old fashioned discipline is a no no.[/quote]

think this quote is interesting. and to the first quoter yes there have always been badly behaved kids and sucky parents and it would be a lot better if it was easy to MYOB. but if it's a kid that's piercing your ear drums with their deafening screams just because they're not getting that toy or candy bar they want (oh the horror) kind of hard to. and if that's your child's normal behavior I mean come on either discipline your kid or don't take them out in public! and I like the second person's quote. whereas back then you can only think of a handful of people that fit the Asperger's or Oppositional Defiant disorder description it's almost everywhere now. wonder why, correlating with the increasing number of slack parents much? and coming from someone who was diagnosed with Asperger's but it's not because I was badly behaved and my parents didn't use that as excuse to let me be badly behaved like a lot of other people would.[/quote]
