New Don't kids usually try to be the opposite of their parents?

New Point Taken
So, since this generation is a bunch of beer belchin', belly-achin', do-nuthin's,
my son's bunch is going to be responsible and pro-active. (Sniff)
Does anybody have a tissue?

(Beaming with pride!)

Peace,
Amy

(My son doesn't feel the need to rebel because Critter and I instilled values in him that he respects. We also show respect for his values as a person. We show him that he is valuable for who he is, not for who we want him to be. That is probably the biggest mistake that many parents make...forcing kids to be who the parents want them to be rather than encouraging self-determination.

But that's a whole nother ball o' wax.

Peace again,
Amy

You buy THAT?

You've just surpressed his desire to rebel - sometime in his mid-twenties, he's going to go off on you like a ton of TNT. In the meantime, you've delayed his developmental cycle, tied him to his mother's apron strings, ad infinitum, ad nausem.

I speak from personal experience.

New He's already rebelled.
Just because we don't fight like others do doesn't mean he hasn't rebelled. It is a natural part of the separation from the family unit. Must happen for one to grow up and fly from the nest.

I'm just saying that he is concerned about how crappy things are politically and can hardly wait to cast his first vote. He just turned 18 in April. His friends are of a like mind, are committed to be drug-free, are a little on the goth-side, but other than that, are very knowledgeable about current events and political satire.

It is a breath of fresh air, politically speaking.

Peace,
Amy

New He's in the minority then
Despite much hullaballo, in the last election the percentage of youth who voted went down over the previous one.

I give better than even odds of that happening next time as well.

New Same or opposite, little in between
Usually most of us are the opposite on some things, then the same on the rest.
