Todays Moms

It is a fact that today's moms are different from our own mothers and our grandmothers. Is it true that we as parents today have become, dare I say, a bit lazy when it comes to our kids? Or is it that parents are getting younger and younger and they just don't know enough to raise children the way they once were.

Do you remember when society lent a hand in keeping kids straight, when teachers could actually hit or whip you if you misbehaved, or if your neighbor caught you doing something they'd whip your ass then send you home for your mother (who was ALWAYS home when you got home) to whip your ass .. and for her to make you wait for your father for when he came home. Shiiiiiiiiitt I remember, as a matter of fact I stayed in trouble so my behind was sore most of my youth .. lol

But on a serious note, I mention this because I notice significant differences in the way even I raise my children. I've always been firm and disciplined them the way my mother would me, and I make sure they are protected and taken care of as best I can. That being said I notice some of our young parents today lack patience, or interest in their kids. They don't want to be bothered, possibly because our young ladies somehow got in their heads that having a baby will keep the man .. you know .. the "keep a n*gga baby," but when the man is gone a mother is left with a child she probably didn't want in the first place!

Sad that most of our youth have lazy, non caring, inexperienced parents who don't care enough about their kids to do the job right, and it is a job. Raising kids is not an easy feat! I'm married with children and even I need a break every now and then because it is alot of work. But what's really going on with todays moms? Just a little something I had on my mind after seeing a mother bark on her daughter for what seemed to me like no big deal, you walk in the store your kids always want something, mine do, and you tell them no, simple and keep it moving. I had on headphones and heard this lady going off on her son, I hate to see that, I saw a lady on the bus one day who didn't seem like the mother of this young toddler, she was about 3 or 4 the lady is going on downgrading and cussing her out for who knows what, the little girl just sat somewhat oblivious as if she was used to it .. that's heartbreaking to me really.

So I say like Michael Jackson said .. if you can't feed the baby, then don't have the baby, and don't think maybe, if you can't feed the baby!
