A Perfect Parent????

Parents. They are so stressful and ignorant it makes me want to quack out of anger. I know that they try their best and sometimes their best is really the best, but there are times when their kid needs to learn from their own mistakes.


My parents used to be full of rules and wouldn't let me do anything like wear make up, date or stay over at friends house. They became more lenient with time, but only because I decided to disobey them. I felt bad, but I really needed to get out of this bubble of protection and learn about life myself. Because their way I would have never learned about anything. Of course with time I had my friends and my loving boyfriend to help corrupt me.:D And I love it.


You see dear readers, the thing is that a lot of parents try to keep their kids from the world all of their life, or until they legally can't anymore. And when those kids, all sheltered and pampered go out into our world they are clueless about what to do and how to behave. They let everyone crush them within minutes and break their spirits. Why? Because their parents figured that they knew that the world was bad and they would keep them from it as long as possible. But those kids after a certain point should have been able to see the world little by little and learn about it little by little so that when they were old enough to go out on their own, they would be able to take care of them selves and make their parents proud.


My parents realized this a little bit too late. Because with them, I was the sheltered one and after me the rest of the kids got to do what ever they pleased, and my parents lost control. There was no middle where they would still keep certain things out of their reach and certain things within. Like rated R movies. Most kids wait until they are either mature or 17 to watch them. Our 8 yr olds have been watching them for a while. And my parents gave up control.


I'm not trying to say that every parent is like that or its my parents fault for their parenting. It is, but I have to cut them some slack because no one is perfect and when you have 9 kids it is kind of hard to teach them the right things and catch them before they get too far away. But I do believe that when you have a child, you should have a medium of what you will teach them and what you wont. But everything has to be taught eventually.
