Sarah Palin’s oldest son charged with beating up his father

I came up the hard way, back when kids were taught the key word to life, RESPECT.  At the times I was getting clocked from my old man, I didn’t appreciate what a lesson in life I was learning.

If taught respect at an early age, it covers a multitude of areas that will help the kids learn how to deal with others and cope with life. RESPECT is the key word to world-wide peace.  You don’t have to like me and I don’t have to like you. You respect me and I will respect you.

Based on what I see today, with the spoiled rotten kids and their ignorant, super accommodating  parents, how these brats turn out, I will take the OLD DAYS and ass whippings any day.

My old man who was a giant of a man that told my older brother and I;  I don’t care how big and how tough you think you are, if you ever think about it; you better sleep with one eye open.

There was NEVER one time that my brother or I talked back to our parents or disrespected them; let alone thinking of going to knuckle junction with the old man. That foolish move would be a suicide mission for us.

Was our upbringing somewhat harsh? Absolutely, BUT so is life.   My old man used to say; this hurts me more than it hurts you, something I found hard to believe at the time.

Teach the kids how to deal with adversity at home, so when they get into the world, they are prepaired. Teach them how to behave at home, so when they go to school, they are ready to get educated.  Dispite the way many people think, schools purposes are to teach not to discipline. The kids should be in line before they get there.

Our parents old school ways of upbringing is a dying or a dead issue.  The permissive method of parenting has taken a very big toll on society that has resulted in more negatives than positives.  Take a look around and then tell me it hasn’t.  If you say nay, you are only a fool.

Who in the hell are permissive parents harming by spoiling their kids? Their kids.  In their minute pea brains, they believe they are helping the kid by spoiling them. Just the opposite.  Gotta be a parent first and then a friend. If the friend thing does not work out, so be it.

I don’t know the entire circumstances surrounding Palin’s kid, BUT if I had to guess, I would say he was a spoilded, pampered brat.

The 28-year-old was arrested on three charges, including assault, after the incident Saturday. The dispute began when he called to say he wanted to come get the truck, and his father refused.
