nice....
but we get it a little faster around here....
at 4 pop knows everything...he is the world.
at 12 the bubble bursts when he curses the new math...
at 16, pop is as dumb as a box of rocks
at 25, we wonder how we got so dumb and he got so smart in such a short time.
me...I fought with my father and we were at odds from 14-30... but my twins at 18 still pile on me when I lay on the couch, still come down and talk to me about their personal life and ask for advice....I am in a state of bliss.

some guys criticize their fathers for not understanding them but when they become fathers themselves they behave the same way or almost similar as their fathers did and then they say "Dad was right"
also i think daughters are a lot kinder to fathers than sons because girls are soft by nature, am i right?

I think probably in general Fathers are a lot kinder to daughters...which in turn makes daddy's little girl more attached to the Father.
Yes I did have similar tendencies, but avoided the belt. As a child I saw it, and the paddle often...and having to cut your own switch...my kids didn't have to endure any of that level of punishment....of course I think they were better kids than I....correct that, I know they were better kids than I (at a younger age) now they are at the point where I don't know if I have really good kids or if I am as naive as my parents were.

i think Parents today have better skills in terms of dealing with their kids than parents 50 years ago.
There has been a dramatic change in the concept of children in the past 100 years. Before that children around the world were chattel. Education went to 8th grade maybe...often at 6 one could be sold into servitude, or 12 as an indentured servant or apprentice for a trade. On a farm you procreated for the purpose of creating farm labor. Children in their youth were ignored as they often died, it was recommended you not name them or get attached to them for the first years, to insure they made it. After that it was the beginning of training for them to be 1 self sufficient, 2 respectful, and 3 pull thier wieght around the house and farm, not be burden, but to be of value. Training was done much the same you would with a horse or dog.
The past 100 years in the industrialized nations have seen an incredible change in attitude...and now we expect the entire world to keep up, dispite the fact that our newfound snobbery in this regard, and the treatment of women and invalids is relatively new and only followed prosperity, and ample free time....

In other ways they're worse. There are a lot more parents getting divorced.
It's not really the parent that's better. As the genie says in "I Dream of Jeannie," it's all made possible by a new magic called technology.
I think we're a generation of spoilt brats.
We can't help it. We see everyone else enjoying themselves. We want the happiness of those around us. One of the Ten Commandments says, "thou shalt not covet." We're doing a lot of coveting.

Our Version, (its a fridge magnet!)
FATHER
A child sees his father this way?
5 years old - My daddy knows everything
10 years old - my dad does not know everything
15 years old - the old man does not know anything
25 years old - let me check and see what dad thinks
40 years old - I wonder how dad would handle this?
thank you dad for everything!

The only reason why your father is the best is because you can't choose your parents.
If you could divorce your parents, you might be able to find someone better.
