Please explain this to me.  You have a kid..that is a commitment - for LIFE.  The law may deem them legal but you will always be morally responsible for them.  We have to be able to do better than THIS???

Neil W or NeilW...either way.  You effectively cancel each other out and I will not respond in any way to your posts from either or you - not out of disrespect. I just don't have the kind of time needed to respond to your posts.

The Troubled Teen Industry / Ask Ourselves...are we GOOD Parents?

Are we GOOD parents?  Do we set a good example?  Just little thought here and there


Really dig down deep before you answer that question.

I just have a kid who is heading straight for the train and I am doing everything I can to prevent the impending collisions.

Quote from: "Antigen"
You start out in the above post attributing the cause of societal breakdown and troubled youth to the progressive institutionalization of child rearing and dissolution of families. I happen to agree with that. But then you propose as a solution further institutionalization of child rearing through socialized medicine? It doesn't make any sense, who! [quote) Who (not that who) suggested child rearing through socialized medicine?  Not me!!! [color)

Here's my often stated answer to the frequently asked question "Well, what do you propose as an alternative?" Raise your own damned kids! If you want your kid to grow up to be a secure, competent, successful adult then keep them around. Don't segregate them into herds of children tended by temporary keepers. Don't work two jobs and hire a nanny or sign them up for a bunch of after-school and summer programs. If you're short of money, start a small business and employ them in it.
 I am 100% with you on that....RAISE your KID...novel approach for those "would be excuses" for parents parading around!  BTW - I AM a parent

Tried to reply using quotes, and colours, but messed it all up.  I will get my bearings!

You know...I have read and read..and read some more on these forums and have come to one conclusion

There needs to be a industry created for "Troubled Parents"   I think ALL parents should stay a week or so in the facility they have so carefully chosen for their son/daughther.  I am sure it would be an enlightening experience for ALL of them.  That should be a pre-requisite for any parent contemplating "placement" outside the home!  HEAR THAT ED CON'S

When did parents stop being parents?  When did farming out kids like chattel become acceptable if they are INCONVENIENT?  When we got too busy to handle our core family needs or when we put our own selfish wants and desires ABOVE those that we chose to bring into this world?

A psychiatrist once told me once once that the "issues of the children are merely the unresolved issues of the parents!"  At the time, I felt stunned, but the more I thought about it, the more dead on that one sentence told me.

Don't anyone jump on me for coming in here out of the blue and suggest such an audacious industry - PARENTS LEARNING TO BE PARENTS and NOT their kid's friend. :deal:
