True!! My father has told me thousands of times growing up and has no problem even today telling me that he has not a care in the world if I hate him. He’s always told me that he isn’t here to be my best friend, he’s here to be my dad and tell me when I’m wrong or need to do better and if I hate him for it so be it.he doesn’t care if I hate him or don’t love him, it’s not a child’s job to love their parent, it’s a parents job to love their child. And most of the time after your kids hate you for saying what they don’t want to hear they’ll come back around and will know in the end their parent was right.

Thank YOU for saying it!! Parents have become weak. It is not our job to befriend our children, it’s our job to protect them and teach them. Stop letting the television and the phone raise your kids, parents you actually need to be involved. Entitled kids come from weak, pushover parents.

"No Backbone in Parenting" So true

[jleigh]

I grew up in the 80s, a middle child with an older sister and younger brother and very young parents. My parents never once allowed for us to be entitled or even remotely think we were the boss of them, we were punished when well deserved and no we weren’t sent to a bedroom with video games and a big screen tv. My parents were great but also very strict and we are far better for it in life and work. I now own a business and our employees think they are entitled to everything and when you give them pushback and feedback as an adult they react by calling in or quitting. Not only have the parents that raised entitled children make their lives harder by fearing their children’s backlash, they made it very hard for their children to function as grown adults. Please hold your children accountable for everything, because they’re not doing well in society and in life.
I am 46 now, i got my first cell phone at age 21 and it was technically a work phone I needed for my first full time job. Kids have phones in kindergarten now, imagine how hard that also is on teachers.

Having rules and setting limits is important for your kids.

[dotnerdmyad]

My parents still scolds me even in my 20's when I'm not doing my job properly. We're Asian so it makes sense. it always helps me though ngl.

[Boxers]

My kids are not my friends and I’m not their friend. I’m their parent and their guide to this world to be a decent human being

[Eco-FriendlyItems-zimhq]

Totally agree with you... Well said again ..❤

[mariemedeiros]

Parents need to parent!! I agree with you

[francheskashope]

Gary although you're right, some of these kids are like crack addicts when it comes to electronics. I've taken shit away feom my kids but through their friends still have access to things I don't want them exposed to. Then their friends tell them to no listen, rebel because "they have rights" and parents are wrong. It's not that easy anymore.

[Myworldmymind]

I couldn't have said it any better

[ShaneSchimpf]

When we were kids, parents knew their role wasnt to be our friends.

[paulmurphy]

Four "fucks" in the first fifteen seconds. That's how you know you're listening to a Gary V. diatribe.
😂😂😂😂😂

[newfreenayshaun]

This is not the only reason that parents have become a disappointment to society recently

[ZenorD-]

As an older gen z I’ve seen that gen x and millennials have this idea that they are still in their 20s and should be able to be buddies with their kids instead of being strict with them it’s lazy mentality with a side of I’m still young and I can go party when I want.

[Thebeekkeeper]

Taking their phone away wouldn't build something else on their minds seeing colleagues at school with phone's?

[LuhRen]

Parents are scared and a lot of their children are going to fail in life if they don't face any type of adversity. .

[thawnaing]

Bro hit a wall, you hit a wall, so what, hit the wall that's the game. I hit or show you how to hit, Go Jets

[steveg]

Gary used to be polished, charming wine guy. He turned into a cussing guy who looks like he needs a shower and a shave.

Using the word kids and then proceeding to say they are getting “f’ed” is weird as shit
