You forgot video games and tv... oh and the internet. Anything that does NOT involve them to be hands on with their children themselves.
But I agree with this so much. I have yet to see one child my kids hang around with that actually have parents that even know where the hell their kids are, much less what they are doing. And if I am so lucky to find a parent like that, I hold onto them for dear life.
I pulled my kids out of public schools completely this school year and while I was so worried about their social lives, they have both excelled in this subject and have more friends than ever. And shockingly, their attitudes have made drastic improvements. No teachers picking on them, or teaching them their warped sense of right and wrong.
It is a PARENTS job to mold kids, and have support from others, not make it up to others to raise them. Everything about kids these days is really warped and parents have no one to blame but themselves.
Had those boys been taught right from wrong at home, they wouldn't have been laughing in the first place. All of them are victims of their parents most likely... until someone else lays a hand on them and THEN they want to be involved.
This subject matter really hits me in the gut, sorry. lol
