George Carlin Over parenting
George Carlin 70 years old but still as quick witted as ever. I found this particular talk about over parenting very true and something that all parents should watch and give thought to – as a parent myself I have seen this at the soccer field and in the attitudes of the teachers at my children’s schools. It’s sickening, what’s worse is that they’re are not creating good children who will grow to be psychologically healthy adults they create pint-sized emperors with egos the size of Cathedrals and when these adult brats discover they have no empire and they are not rock stars or famous actors or even smart they’re devastated and the next step is a rifle and a tower.

Kids get confused and rarely develop self-esteem by being told for no reason that they’re “special”; if everyone is somehow “special” for accomplishing nothing, then nobody is:
“Pride [self-esteem] is the recognition of the fact that you are your own highest value and, like all of man’s values, it has to be earned.” – Ayn Rand (Atlas Shrugged)

@DaHonestAbe I was born here and in the 1960′s went through similar upbringing. But 10 PM!! you had it good. I had to be in bed by 8:30 until I turned 13. Then I could stay up till 9 PM. In the summer I could stay up a bit later…only problem, I’d get sleepy around 8:45 lol!! I too turned out a decent human being. I appreciate the discipline now that I’m older. They may have been a bit overprotective…but I knew I was loved, as I’m sure you were too. That’s what really matters. Take care.

My parents immigrated here in 84 and I was born shortly after. Not being from here, they were fearful and FAR too overprotective. I lived in a townhouse complex where I couldn’t leave outside the border complex. Even when we moved to our first house, I had a curfew of 10pm in the damn summer. I had to build my own character. I luckily grew into a decent human being.

The only thing worst than parents who do absolutely nothing are parents who do absolutely WAY TOO MUCH for their children. My parents were pretty protective, but they allowed me to play tag, cowboys and indians, dodge ball, fireworks (with proper supervision, of course), and yes, even a stick (to “dig a fuckin’ hole”)! If you safe-proof every aspect of their lives, they won’t know or learn how to really deal with the real world as they become adults. They’ll grow up to be wimps (or idiots).

@Senicriver hang in there, 3 years until you are legally and adult and then you can tell them to go fuck themselves.
