![]() Timely article, at least for me. Had a parent of a 30 year old employee call in about their child's issue on Monday... first, I was flabberghasted. Then politely told the mother that since they are not our employee, I could not discuss the issue with them.
She didn't take that very well. But, interestingly enough, the actual employee never came to me about the problem. Mom hyperventilating? Don't know, and honestly, don't care. What was indicated was pretty minor, and not worth the phone call. https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/...rn/3198310002/

It's bad enough to see 'helicopter parents' on minors, but once your child reaches their majority, to continue is doing them a disservice of huge proportions. And what we see today of the SJW's, is one of the results of that.

I never had to use my belt. But after a few hand spankings they didn't believe was possible, knowing I would go there was all that was needed. It's not a question of fear, but of respect. One does not fear falling as much as they respect the laws that will inflict pain if you get careless with altitude

today's lack of skills is due to technology to a great extent and the 80s generation's anti-parent stance. so what I learned from my folks didn't get passed on except for what was really important I had to beat into them. ![]()

some don't respond to any kind of physical torture but taking away privileges-and sticking by it makes them remember. others you just have to look cross and they get the message; still others have to have the sht smacked out of them. But then not everyone had my kids or my discernment so I guess it's unfair for me to judge others. ![]() ![]()
