Super User skunked_again Posted October 8, 2009 Super User Posted October 8, 2009 ....Scared out of their minds about the world are children are going to grow up in? no. most periods in time had some type of struggle. ive got a kid in afghanistan, a daughter going to kansas u, and another son in the 8th grade. heres my worries: whos shooting at my son today. how much is my daughters phone bill going to cost me? how does my younger son keep finding the controller to his Xbox when hes grounded from it for not doing his homework? all of my kids are tougher than me. they make school look easy. the world should be scared of my kids.

Super User Bassn Blvd Posted October 8, 2009 Super User Posted October 8, 2009 Not really. Hopefully he will grow learning how to handle whatever situation the world presents to him just as I did growing up. I worry more about him knocking some girl up while he's too young. Quote
Super User grimlin Posted October 8, 2009 Super User Posted October 8, 2009 Common fear for a parent.It's part of life..... IMO. Quote
NewAngler Posted October 8, 2009 Author Posted October 8, 2009 I guess its because my kids are younger...? I hope. Quote
tyrius. Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 Nope. The world hasn't changed all that much since I was a kid. The biggest difference is the speed of information and that we can get our information from anywhere. We hear about a lot of things happening that we wouldn't have a generation ago. I've got a 4 year old son and a 2 year old daughter. Quote

I.rar Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 i dont have any kids ... yet. but when i do... the world should be scared of my kids. ;D Quote
BassDeaton01 Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 I have a 4 year old daughter and I am scared of her growing up just because I dont know how I'm going to react to her bringing some horny little teenager to the house! But we just found out my wife is pregnant with a boy so maybe he can lay the smack down for me if need be. I'm not scared of the world they are growing up in though. I think the news mostly covers all the bad stuff so you never get to hear about all the good stuff going on in the world. Bottom line.....bad news sales! Quote

The biggest difference is the speed of information and that we can get our information from anywhere. We hear about a lot of things happening that we wouldn't have a generation ago. I've got a 4 year old son and a 2 year old daughter. I have seen a dramatic change in people and community in just the last 15 years in my area. I guess everywhere is different, but to say that the world hasn't changed at all is kinda ridiculous. Quote

Well as evidenced above, that isn't what I said. Quote
golf n fish Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 ....Scared out of their minds about the world our children are going to grow up in? I have 2 boys (4 and 7). I'm not so much scared as I am disappointed. I'm not sure exactly what you're referring to, but maybe eventually we can get off foreign oil and the crazy people can go back to fighting themselves instead of us and we won't care (like Africa now). Or maybe you're referring to the lack of personal responsibility in our own country these days? I hope my kids don't live in a country that taxes the rich to pay for the "rights" of others.

mrlitetackle Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 simple solution...... no kids!!! (I'll just hope i can keep it that way for me ) Quote
bigtimfish Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 I am. I can't let my lil girls go out in the front yard and play like I did when I was young. I am sure people were snatching kids back then, but it seems to be more common today. More perverts out there now. Maybe I am just overprotective/paranoid. Quote

Captain Obvious Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 I'm young enough to be some of your guy's kid and I'm scared sick of the world we live in. Quote

I have 3 girls. Lucky me. And I don't want to be the hounding dad like I think I'm GOING to have to be. I'm doing my best so they are independent and strong, but with perverts, "sexting", horny lil boys and kid snatchers, I dont know what else to do. Other than stock up the gun cabinet of course. Quote
