When I was a kid if you weren't respectful of your elders you were assured a torn up backside.If we got in trouble mom would tear that butt up and when dad got home you could expect the same ...times 2.Now days kids are so much left up to raising themselves,with tv and x boxes, that don't have any role models. I thank God my 29 year old daughter turned out to be a wonderful young lady,college educated and married to a great man with a new baby boy.A while back I overheard a conversation with her and one of her friends about their parents.My daughter told her "my daddy was always there for me".That kinda made all of it worthwhile.
