What The Other Grumpy Old Man Said

CNN's Jack Cafferty sums it up perfectly in an excerpt from his book! It's nice to know that I'm not the only crotchety old bastard who feels that parenting in the 21st century leaves a lot to be desired.

That seems to have a theme that I've believed in since I was a kid - that kids can take it. When I was young, people didn't think I would understand. Now they don't think that kids can learn certain information or be disciplined. Kids want to be like adults and they are hardwired to copy what those around them do. They will respond to structural limitations. I've always disliked the arbitrary limitations that some impose. So much coddling - how will anyone learn?

Part of the reason I don't want to have kids is that I get annoyed easily, so I'm sure I'd spend most of my time telling my child to shut the hell up. :)
