Stepsons banned from dating until they are 17 Options

[dannyt]

My stepsons step sons are banned from dating until they are over the age of 17. If I were to permit them from dating I'm convinced they would become sexual active.

^Don't blame a country for your lack of parenting skills. If you can't instill your child with good enough skills to stand on his/her two feet, don't blame the country that's providing you and your family with freedom and a place to be. If you think your parenting skills will be maximized in another country, give it a go.

I love my parents and they had rules for me growing up that I didn't like but now I appreciate them and love them unconditionally for what they have done for me. I don't do stupid stuff because they gave me the lessons and skills I need to be my own person.

Your aunt and uncle are probably great parents. And she sounds like a really smart girl. But, you seem really jaded about how GREAT controlling parents can be. My parents and all their parent friends all agree: children will rebel and you'll need to make the right decisions to not make them hate you. Your cousin might be a great kid but she definitely had disagreements with her parents about some of their rules.

You gotta understand, it's a psychological thing. When you spoil a child, when you give a child a treat or toys because they misbehave (the American way), all you're doin is mentally conditioning/programming a child's mind into believing that the parents owe them something no matter what the circumstances are.

Parents now a days are too soft... I see a lot of the wrongs in parents' parenting skills, even my mother's. She spoiled me into a brat and I grew up rebelling, hell I even called my mother a bitch (of course she had my uncle come over and yell at me into oblivion for disrespecting my mother's honor). I learned from my rebelling and my mother's parenting skills and realized all the wrong things she's done. I told her she was too soft with me and spoiled/rewarded me for many wrong things.

And the problem of today is... the fact that parents are too soft, they're either too young, too old, too weak, uneducated, immature, irresponsible etc... there's a lot of elements in todays world (that didn't really exist back before the 1960s) that has caused this sort of mental/parental evolution. Causing a rotting generation after generation.


As far as blaming a country? I can compare my tiny lil country of Italy or Dominican Republic to U.S.A. and my country outweighs the U.S.A in morals, parenting skills, and education.

Ahaha. You think so? Education-wise, if Italy outweighed the U.S.A your flag would be on the moon.
Sorry way off topic, just have to defend my country. :P

Uh no... if that was the case, Italy would have to be a capitalist, imperialist nation with the equivalence of havin trillions of dollars. I find it quite laughable that you would associate knowledge with money.
