The single reason most individuals are NOT good parents

Posted by Robbie

I have been a parent for over forty years and it is NOT an easy thing to be. Unfortunately most people believe it is somewhat simplistic to do, so they do not put effort into it and their children show that in their development.

You know 99.9% of ALL parents in the world, yes that’s right I said the world, would be good , if NOT great parents, if it wasn’t for one small problem…….KIDS!

You see that’s the problem. Kids get in the way of being a good parent. Sure they do. If you didn’t have to worry about them all the time look how much easier it would be to be a parent!

Why are so many parents not very good at being parents, because they really don’t want to be. They do not want to sacrifice any more than they have too. So they treat their kids like their TV, DVD or any other devise they own….by remote control.

Yes it’s true! Parents want to sit on the couch and remote control being a parent.

Now while that works real well for all your electronics it’s a disaster when it comes to raising your kids.

I was at a retail store just the other day when a young boy, maybe five years old started screaming and sat down right in the middle of the aisle. His mother turned to him and said ” Now Tommy stop that!” “You DON”T act that I way at home!” I’m sorry I could NOT resist so I said, “Oh yes he does! Or he wouldn’t be doing it here.”

Sorry mom but the truth is the truth. Kids emulate whatever they do or get away with at home everywhere else they go. When a teacher called in a mother recently to discus her sons behavior in class she was STUNNED to hear how he acted and talked back to the teacher. He never does those kind of actions at home! YES HE DOES!

Just like an alcoholic who refuses to accept the fact they have a drinking problem so do most parents when it comes to being responsible for the children’s actions.

This will put a smile on your face. How many times have you heard, ” My Johnnie/Susie would NEVER do something like that.” You just want to say, so badly, Oh! yes they do!

It’s one thing to love your children and another to ignore the facts. And the facts? Most of the time is that the children are NOT all that bad, it’s the parents that are ALL that BAD!

Look I know how difficult it is to raise children in today’s environment. I have had children in the 70′s 80′s 90′s and the 2000′s. I have sixteen (16) grandchildren, although that’s a story for another day. (I do NOT attempt to raise them.) So I know being a parent is tough!

So you probably are thinking alright smart ass whats the secret? What do you know we don’t.

Simple. Raising kids is like anything else you do. If you do NOT have sincerity, love and trust more likely than not you are NOT going to be successful!

If you believe that you can sit around and NOT get involved and raise them by sitting on the couch and remote controlling your involvement, it WILL be your kid in the middle of the aisle at the store.

Get involved, stay involved! Be there when they need you even if they think they don’t. Listen, your children from the ages of 12 to 25 will without a doubt believe you are the biggest dumb ass in the entire world and 99% of whatever it is your saying is crap!

So start early! 95% of everything you will teach your children WILL happen before they turn the age of 13.

There is nothing wrong with liking your child and not liking your child. but don’t EVER not love them. One thing above ALL else without fail, is every opportunity you get every single day, you ensure that you always say those three words “I Love You.” Because if you do NOT a gang or gang member will! A drug dealer will! A prostitute will! A pedophile will! Someone on the Internet will!

Being a parent is tough. Being a good parent is even tougher! But being the person on the opposite side of a weapon is really tough. Being the person at the hospital because your son or daughter just overdosed is really tough. Or having the police tell you that your missing son or daughter will never be coming home again because they just found them in a dense part of the woods or a trash dump….is devastating!

They call them universal remotes. When it comes to raising your children try the off button, I guarantee you better results and less commercials.
