tough these days. The cost of living and the divorce rate have
conspired to force children to come home to empty homes. While this
has been happening, sex, drugs, and violence have become mandatory
subjects in schools. When you're needed the most, you can't be
there. Somehow we
still have to teach our kids responsibility. Kids are not
responsible. As parents, we are and it's our job to teach our
children responsibility. Some of them will learn it when they're 10
and others won't until they're 30. The
responsible adults at the schools, who have allowed their campuses
to get away from them, don't accept their responsibility and
will try to tell you that your children are responsible and
it's not their job to raise your kids. They will try to make you
feel like everything that goes on at their campuses is because you
are a bad parent and haven't taught your children to be responsible.
Since your children are at school more than they are at home during
the school year and exposed to social situations that they would not
otherwise encounter, it most certainly is the job of teachers and
school administration to help nurture and teach your kids
responsibility. They are no longer doing it so, you are alone and
they will remind you of this every time you talk to them. They have
allowed the drugs, violence, and sex to take root on their
campuses, but, somehow, this is your fault and your children's
responsibility, too. To help them
avoid their responsibility they will tell you that your child needs
therapy and/or drugs. The insinuation is that, if you don't get your
child to therapy, you are a bad parent. They really want to just
control your child and push their responsibility onto others so all
they have to do is present class material. They are no longer
part of the solution. They are another problem that you have to deal
with while raising your child. If your child is angry, it is because they have been bullied, harassed, and belittled and the economy is not allowing you to be there for them. Through all of this, remember that they are children and they are not responsible for what is happening to them. Remember the joy that they gave you when they were small and do what you have to in order to get it back.
