Kids be better parents? - Page 2

Do you think the kid, when grown up, be a better parent then his/her parent?

Kids know what they go through at school, and when they grow up and have kids, they'd understand the same pain and not force their will on them doing things that would further pressure the kid...

Or will they be worse, because of changing times and surroundings?

I have heard that we all become like our parents at some point in our life. 😉 Grown ups often say and do the same thing their parents did and hated them for . So I think the "kids" will probably try to emulate their own parents but without the cultural knowledge their parents had. 😕


Many people believe that kids should know their culture, but if the kid doesn't know his/her culture, and when he/she has kids, wouldn't the culture die out?

So will Kids be better parent's then "their" parents? Or will "true" parenthood die out? I agree with Qwerts here. with nuclear, over worked and over stretched families , families with single parent, Inter racial/religious families, families with 2 mommies or 2 daddies, 50+ year old parents having/adopting kids, parents blaming everyone (but themselves) including schools, media and govt for their childrens well being , true parenthood will not be anything like we know it to be.

😆 All this cave talk reminds me of the book Hillary clinton wrote(with help of ghost writer ) when she was co-president - It takes a village (to raise a child) , the title based on African proverb.

Of course they were. Koi shaq!😆😆

They were least bothered if kids wore short leafy skirts or wrote on cave walls or whom they dated (it was a free world😉) or climbed on a tree or plucked flowers in the yard or pulled a rabbit ear.

There were no restrictions so children were happy and so were cave parents. There concern was food and shelter.

Alas! the development and technology.

Well Said!! want to add.. Alas, narrow mindedness and hyprocrasy!!
