this dawned on me i goto my friends house and i see all kinds of parents trying to teach there kids on dont swear and dont mumble under you breath and etc. etc. etc how come they try and teach there kids not to do that but they do i know it could be stress or what ever but how can you teach you kid something and the you turn around and do it? hmmmmmmmmm

[jaeman]

I don't know. They just don't want them to copy them?

[jennifish]

kids rebel. iono how ur suppose to teach them. but maybe....IONO!!

[someflipguy]

Like I always tell everyone! Do what I say, not what I do! Remember that, and you will understand why your parents do that when you become a parent yourself.

my mom used to yell at me for saying poopy,"it's not lady-like" and then she would turn around with somelike like " I f*cking told you not to say, poopy"...and then a string of other swear words..... hmmmmmm

Well, when you have a bad habit, you wouldn't want your children to have the habit as well, so you'd tell them not to do it.

[TheSilenceInDict...]

Exactly. They're trying to steer you away from habits that they regret having, in hopes of raising you the 'right' way.

yeah i think its good that parents do that but i hate it when they go do it themselves. so hypocritical, and i hate that. my parents do stuff like that a lot...its stupid.

Hrm, I guess.

I still hate both of my parents with a passion, Haha.

i think they just want the best for you.. not turning out like them.. everyone is a hypocrit or how ever you spell it

[burnoveride]

reason i was asking cuz if you noticed as much as a parent teaches a child they turn out doing what they were told not to to do i mean there may be SOME things they wont do (we wont get into that) but like as they always say you will have the same trades as your mother and father........ isnt that what were all hoping for? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[inthemudhole]

I guess they want what's best for their child.
*shrug*

[*thesweetescape*]

that sort of reminds me of how parents teach their children not to physically fight and use their words instead of violence....yet war is okay?

That's not always the case. If your parents are successful, they'd want you to be successful like them. However, even success means different things to different people/parents. You can be dead-beat but rich and still be successful to some people; or be just lower middle class but raise a good family and helps out your community and be successful.

My parents don't want me to have their trades... they want me to be something better and have more then what they're capable of.

[nyctophiliac]

i dunno but my parents
do that too...it gets rather
annoying at times...cuz they
do it too so why can't we?

[DrEaMgUy2K1]

eh i guess because its rude and unecessary *SP* ... i mean i cuss all the time.. and sometimes when im talking to my teacher a word would slip..haha .. its a bad habbit..

[*lolita kitty*]

eeh my dads teh same way
dosent want me to cuss
but mi mom lets me cuss and dosent care

that's because this world is doomed to a life of hypocrites

[madRooney]

yea agree to jennifish
kids rebel, the more they r taught, the more they explore it

[waccoon]

That's like telling your kids not to smoke, while you smoke three packs a day.
