   Awww Now isn't that the cutest thing to show of your child online. WTH. Have any of you seen this ? I cannot believe people thought others would love have this shared with them. The 16 year old mother had this to say :

   "He's a smart little boy. All that cussing that he did, he doesn't do that," she said. "Somebody told him to do that. My son doesn't do that. I don't allow it."
   She stated she was in another room when this incident took place. I have a hard time believing that she couldn't hear the chair being turned over and the hollering and not at least come to find out was going on.
   Hopefully, now that this has been brought to light, environments and / or friends will be changed for the good of this baby.

   Gone are the days when mothers use to wash mouths for saying curse words. Obscenities are no longer considered obscene.
   TV shows, movies, video games, what one hears from adolescents on public transport showcase the new in.

   Good morning @saywaht
   Yeah, the comment was in regards of us wondering what's wrong with the children today. As you stated, gone are the days of discipline and accountability. Now is a culture of enablement. A lot of parents now will say "My child would never do that" and then coddle them when someone speaks ill of them.
   It's a lot different world then the one I grew up in.

   Some people should never have children. This is indefensible.

   I can recall when my middle daughter, in her pre teens at the time, learned to talk like Donald Duck. She decided she could cuss at me and i wouldnt be able to tell. WRONG! So i squirted dish soap in her mouth, made her swish it around and then spit it out. She sat down at the table and calmly blew bubbles for awhile. Finally she said to me "mom i think i need more dish soap, the bubbles are gone!" Was all i could do not to burst out laughing.

    One thing i learned was dish soap in the mouth didnt always work. My daughter would bl ow bubbles and then ask for more when the bubbles were done. Shes still a brat that way even at 35!

    By saying she is defending her son, she seems to be trying to deflect attention away from having to defend herself and her parenting. Pretty Uncool.

    Its a natural motherly instinct to defend your child. That doesnt necessarily mean shes deflecting blame from herself. And im sure by now shes realised she messed up dont ya think? And isnt she a really really young mom? I think i read shes like a teenager herself. Being a parent is a learning curve every single day and if youre a teen mom youre gonna make tons of mistakes. Hopefully she learns from this one. And im relatively sure NONE of us were perfect parents. Gosh knows i wasnt.
