Kids today know the law inside out, in my growing up years if I heard the words "I'll tell your da" that was enough. We showed respect to those we lived among. Today if you say anything to them, it's "you can't do anything, I'm a minor"

These days people are more inclined to own their own houses and take pride in their gardens. If you have reason to complaint to a parent, you find they are quick to defend their kids, whatever they did.

I never had reason to hammer my son, if he did something I felt was wrong, I used to say, right I will talk to you later about this. He kept out of my way for days, and would come to me and near beg to get it over with ! Leaving him thinking about what he did worked for me.

As to were my parents went wrong with me, they tried God bless them.
