Good afternoon,
This is just a PSA. It's hard being a parent, and I cannot judge due to lack of children. But something has to said for your parenting skills when your child knows more about Gucci Mane and Souljah Boi Tell Em ( yes that is his entire stage name).
What ever happened to a good bedtime story? Or going to a museums? The excitement of learning something new; Something productive. It seems that kids these days are growing way to fast, and in doing so they are missing many fundamentals.
I applaud those that are continiously trying to focus their children on the greater good of knowledge, but there is still a large percentage that remains lost.
They know more about the new dance than mathematics. They know more about sex than they do writing and reading. And that is sad!
If I want to do some stupid dance I see on tv for entertainment (within reason) I can. Now you might find that hypocrtical, but let me explain. I am a student, I have a degree, I have a job, and the skills to move on. These kids do not.
Think on it. That's all I'm saying.
Much love and continue to have deep thoughts and reflections.

I have to say I agree. Many children these days are way ahead of their time. I think it's because the parents encourage it as well. There is going to come a time where the child has grown into an adult, and they are left floundering, trying to figure out what comes next and how to do it. Many have had everything done for them - when it's time to do something on their own, and something very important, they are at a loss. It's a whole new way of parenting out there, and it frightens me actually.
