So we hear people always talking about kids these days, saying things like 'my kids would have never acted like that', or 'parents just don't know how to raise their kids anymore'. Well, I may have uncovered the reason for this...
You see, my generation was not given the proper diagnosis of ADHD nor any prescription drugs to help with it - we were only given whoopings. So now we have a bunch of 30-somethings running around with ADHD trying to raise kids. Not only do we have absolutely no attention spans, we have also been tasked with this atrocious experience of multi-tasking (truly the work of the devil).
This undiagnosed and untreated medical condition, topped with an enormous amount of responsibilities with family and work, has led to our generation having unruly children. And it's no wonder they act out. We send them to their rooms for misbehaving to wait for their spankings. Then the phone rings. We forget why we sent them down there and take them a cupcake.
To wrap it up, we can now legitimately blame our parents for our children's misbehavior.
P.S. Love ya Mama!
