Are you a parent, toiling every day to provide a good home and life for your children, and the only thanks they give you are rolling eyes, a “talk with the hand” gesture, an all-up-in-your-face boldness, and a foul mouth that gives you reason to cringe and run off to cry in solitude?  If so, there comes a time when you must “parent-up” and put your best foot forward by squarely placing it in the center of their back pocket… if you get the drift.  Yes, the law in most states says that a form of such discipline is a “no-no.”  However, as a natural guardian, it would seem that your parental logic should dictate that it is better to spend a day or two in the slammer, than to have the police or someone else eventually whipping the living daylights out of your kid(s) or, maybe, even killing them. 

Let’s face it, some of today’s kids, from toddlers to teens, are stark raving mad and totally out of control.  Without creating empathy on the side of Mom and/or Dad, it’s time to place the burden of blame solely at their feet for their failed parenting skills and for forgetting who’s supposed to be in charge.

Not too long ago, a friend related a story to me about her cousin who had retired for the night, only to wake up in a wee hour of the morning to find her four-year-old son standing, straddled over her with a butcher knife in his hand, saying “I gonna kill you.”  The first visualization that came to mind was how a little Fantasy Football, of his miniature behind being punt-kicked into the next county, would have made for such a great Kodak moment.   Instead, the mother elected to talk the child down from the bed, took him to his room, sat by his bed watching him sleep peacefully through the night, and the following day, had a double-bolt lock installed on her door.

Perhaps, the problems with your children are not this extreme, however, if you are a parent who happens to be at your wit’s end because your kids are giving you that much grief, tomorrow’s show on The Way I See It is one you will not want to miss.  To join JAY KING and ROBERT REDWINE on this hot topic, go to: www.blogtalkradio.com/Jay-King.  You may also feel free to join us in the chat room and you can call during our live broadcast at: 347-205-9366 to give your point-of-view.
