My Jeremiad

I am keening In lament bewailed at this notion. Contempt for structure, value and discipline is acceptable. Jeremiad A parent can't parent but would be praised for "friending" rather than tending to their child's growth. Hippie tricksters and hipster is all the craze with new age bad zones and soft tones Then everyone moans and claim the lack of parenting is to blame when they go columbine and spray bullets to deal with the torment. I'm sick of the news and its pro no rules avocation Sick of the pop trend of life is always a dead end Sick of fly by night "let them be and hope they make it" attitudes When a little hug and a quick "let me show you" can make our youths guide the progress rather than tear it down. I little input is appreciated, accepted and acknowledged But not mandatory Be good be rewarded, be bad be without Very self explanatory. Those in between that goal are an obstacle not a hero I want greatness for my child Not mediocrity to a zero. Parent with your experience and regulation Not google and trending See the end and before you begin and preempt the blind pretending. Cuz today is not ok When we fear tomorrow Cuz yesterdays ways were forgotten. From one father to the next -Alexis J Meighan-
