type='text'>There is an entire generation of parents out there...</title><content type='html'>There is an entire generation of parents out there who are condoning this sort of behavior.  They make excuses for it.  My darling son (I say that sarcasticly) recently got into trouble.  I let him stay the night at a friend&amp;#39;s house, and I thought they were supervised.  No, they were out running around town from 2-5:30am stealing out of unlocked cars.  Long story short, they were able to return the items and not go to jail.  My son went with an apology and hasn&amp;#39;t got to do a damn thing sense and will not for quite some time.  There isn&amp;#39;t a day that goes by that we aren&amp;#39;t talking about it.  The other boys?  One kid wouldn&amp;#39;t go with my son...his mama said he couldn&amp;#39;t have done it (although he had the stuff), she gave us the stuff and my son went alone.  I see the other six boys still out riding their bikes unsupervised without a care.  My son is the only one being taught a lesson and suffering for it.  So does that mean 1/7th of them is rehabilitated and the rest with repeat offend?  Not good odds.  I am sure those  young men have pulled lots of crap and their parents make excuses or looked the other way because &amp;quot;they are such good boys&amp;quot;.  If they get away with something little it will only grow to something big.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4974316135846033671/383548014250671822/comments/default/1437281118329148144'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4974316135846033671/383548014250671822/comments/default/1437281118329148144'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.ourvanillalife.com/2009/07/by-waywhere-weretheir-parents.html?showComment=1249408085835#c1437281118329148144' title=''/><author><name>Gayle</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08121205250839003802</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='16902040106480323235'/><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Xhmmu65YTpg/Shjy1wGoHqI/AAAAAAAAFz8/SVAo9u0n5hg/S220/004+(2).jpg'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.ourvanillalife.com/2009/07/by-waywhere-weretheir-parents.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4974316135846033671.post-383548014250671822' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4974316135846033671/posts/default/383548014250671822' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-1335095351'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4974316135846033671.post-4233606286771808351</id><published>2009-08-02T14:50:03.009-04:00</published><updated>2009-08-02T14:50:03.009-04:00</updated><title type='text'>OK, I have to agree with every opinion you had.
