@CarefulBitchesImPregnant: Then you are doing an awesome job. Up look around at my friends and, their kids...and a majority of, the kids (with some awesome exceptions) are just....wusses. I know my friends didn't grow up like that. And yet, it's my generation that is leading this unintelligent, fear based p*ssification. It kills me.

Nope...WE did this. When I was a kid, I got kicked out after breakfast and was free to do whatever I wanted to. The amount of freedom was astounding. Now, people my age with kids would never think to allow their little ones to do that. And, statistically, it's actually safer now than it has been since after WWII. We caused this, our paranoia, our fear.
same here now i ride by empty parks everyday i couldn't tell you the last time i saw kids outside playing and just being kids it's kinda sad

@xNOBODYx: I know exactly what you mean. There was, at a time, almost an art to being a kid. Pushing boundries, finding out who you were. The kids (again, with a few exceptions) I've had experience with...they push buttons, not boundries.

The downside to kids pushing buttons or boundaries today is you can't discipline them the way we were at their age! It is considered "child abuse" today!

I spank my kids, even in public if I need to and if somebody says something I tell them to go look up the. Law I can spank them below the waist as long as I don't leave a mark that will be there in 24 hours

my kids aint no wussies, they spent the majority of the summer outside being kids as always. Now my eldest that my mom has, that has just about every gaming device imaginable. . Yea he threw a fit when I made him go play in the yard with everyone else. . But hey he did it and at the end run of his visit he found out he would not die not being glued to a device all day. :))

maybe in your state, but michigan law states you cannot hit, spank or dicipline your children with any force, it is against the law to do so, all because some kid reported child abuse and took his parents to court over it!!

@tfr34: Michigan [Michigan Legislative Council Chapter Index]

Parent/guardian/other person permitted by law, parent, or guardian can reasonably discipline a child, including the use of reasonable force. § 750.136b.. [Criminal Code] [Michigan: MCL Chapter Index] ....just sayin'.
