Are kids of today generation getting...too pampered?
-
Recently, I was out on the streets with my dad. It was still the red man, but this father and son started to cross. Then the son, dragged by the dad, said LOUDLY, "STUPID LA YOU! RED MAN STILL CROSS!" and if you expect the dad to explode in fury, you are absoutely WRONG. In fact, he laughed. He LAUGHED.
And I was like, "Omg, he just called you stupid and you, as a dad, laughed?"
and my dad was like, "No respect, that son!" '
To add in further, my grandfather had been too good to my cousin. (You should know her if you read my previous post about TV) that she sometimes say, "NO!". OK, I'm lying. She EVERYTHING say "NO" unless it involves food or TV.
What is even worse is that today, she said, "YOU DON'T LET ME LEARN HOW TO USE THE COMPUTER!! I DON'T LOVE YOU ANYMORE!!" and then pouts. I was totally, "Omg, this SO isn't the Maya I knew once."

Can tell lah.Originally posted by Simon Dean:adults are also quite pampered, complain and whine everyday about people being pampered.
Kids scolding their parents all sort of names and vulgarities nowadays.
Even army camps now have washing machines and rubberised jogging tracks, even the running shoes are from New Balance and Brooks, and the new six-inched mattress in 12-men room. Still remember mine to be the gravel roads that me ran in the pair of black canvas shoes, sleeping on foam mattresses and stinking pillow on a short spring double-deck metal bed squeezed in 48-men room. -
and which part of that helped your training???Originally posted by dork3d:Can tell lah.

well..yea..
more rude also.. -
Haha..Yea..but there are cases where parents are super strict with the child/children.
but i suppose children nowadays are getting more and more pampered by parents. -

watch Arts Central - Super Nanny (Wed and Thur) ... Very good show...
the kids are really monsters -
they nvr been through the worst of their live tats y they r so pampered.

That is becuz the kids are too pampered by parents. If the parents from the child when young already instill discipline and order to the kid you think the kid will dare do tat? From young muz cane them make them feel pain and inculcate the values of respect for elders and parents.
Kids are the products of parents incapability to teach them properly. Got chinese saying something like kids do bad is because parents wrong in teaching?
Let's introduce the cane back to where it was during their heydays of the past. Let the current crop of children know the magic the cane plays back in the olden days -

for new generation its reversed..parent must obey their sons -
When I was a kid, people were complaing that kids my generation were pampered. I think every generation loves to complain about the younger generation.

how true. talking about strict with kids. that's really vague. my friends go clubbing, staying out late or even overnight, crashing over at a friend's place to just gather and goof about (goof about in this case = good clean fun not inviting trouble). all of the above i'm not able to do. you tell me about strict parents. btw, i'm 19. well you may say, "young man, you're not really that old yet" yes, fine with me. i'm ok with that. case by case basis i'd say, i've a friend who paid an air ticket for his girlfriend over in Australia just to come over to Singapore and his mom knows nuts about him paying over 1k for all that. *shrugs* aiya, pampered or strict beyond our control lah. more importantly, there's a need to strike a f**king balance between the 2. like this also cannot, like that also cannot...that's the way it is man...

Are kids pampered these days??
I'd say a resounding "YES!"
They have everything; mobile phone/s, computer, fashion clothes, fancy color hairdos, etc... and they are still whining about this and that.
I think a lot of them have little or no sense of value, because they are given everything. -
I have been telling my friends how singaporean kids have been pampered and some singaporeans looked at me in disbelief. I have friends from different countries, and I truly believe them when they said they worked alongside singaporeans who complain at the slightest inconvenience. Most singaporeans have not encountered true hardships before, and they will probably not appreciate the wonderful things they already have until maybe one day they lose all that. And most ang moh friends that I know of, they were living on their own by the age of like 20, and in singapore, when you're 20 you're more likely still holding out the hand and taking money from parents. -

But in my household, the parents are strict like don't know what but the grandparents are the one pampering.
But, ever since that little Maya was born, lets just say that all the attention shifted to her.
And plus the fact that just today, I saw a boy, estimation is around 11, he was scolding his father about the fact that he never buy handphone for him coz' all my other friends already have one. I was like, "DORK." -
