Have you noticed?....

Question

That a lot of people have the view of “I didn’t get that growing up so people now shouldn’t?” “life wasn’t like that for me so it shouldn’t be like that for anyone” or “life isn’t like that in the real world now so we shouldn’t enforce xyz”.... (the last comment I see most when referring to school policies and rules) 
I find when discussing important issues this seems to be an argument used and I don’t really get why people see it as a relevant.
Do you have this view about anything?
If so, why do you believe that way?
If not, why don’t you believe that way?
Based on your answers do you think your view is benefiting the growth and development of the society you live in?

Accepted Answer

I see this a lot in parenting. When a child wants something and the parent states “well I didn’t even have color tv when I was a kid!” Like who fucking cares. Just say no lol I think it’s a ridiculous argument and it doesn’t prove anything. Times change

Answer

I feel this way about car seats. I didn’t have em as a kid so why should my kids?

Answer

I feel this way about electronics. When a friends kid was 8 and begging for a freaking iPhone because other kids had it. Whole lotta nope. Too many kids are glued to their phones, laptops, game pads at too young of an age. They should still be playing outside, coloring, reading, being creative.

Answer

School policies  ? How so ? I bet 99% of parents/teachers/students would prefer how  I went to school over this shitF*ck they have now.

Answer

100%. A lot of people on here seem very bitter about their past experiences and legitimately seem to want to make their kids suffer the way I did. I believe as a parent your number one goal should be to give your child the things you didn’t have or give them a better life than you had growing up, not try to drag them down with you in bitterness and suffering. I’ve also noticed this andecodtally on here as well. People will go the entire extra mile to try and justify something outrageous and imply that because they could do it that everyone else can as well— “Well, at 16 I made $200,000 a year through working 8 jobs so I could provide for my seven children, so there’s no excuse for anyone else not to be able to do the same.” Cool story bro.

Answer

I feel that way about a lot of things. I grew up playing outside, climbing trees, playing with animals, taking naps in a hammock even if it was snowing 😂 I LOVE the way I grew up. Kids now just want electronics and are scared of getting dirty. My husband and I are looking into buying a little farm house before our first is 6 so our kids can grow up that way too.

Answer

My favorite is “I was hit when I was a kid, and I’m fine.” 🙄

Answer

I think people just can’t get out of the past.

Answer

This is a cycle that will always exist in my opinion. My parents said that stuff when I was a kid like “oh back in our day”.... it will always be a thing & if I ever have kids I’ll probably be that person saying the exact things my parents said to me🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

It's code! For, "You should be more grateful!" 😉
