Life is **** at the minute.
kids on rampage, cops blame parents. Parents try and discipline kids and are arrested for assault by cops.
where did this all go wrong?
I'll set the scene, hovis music playing in the background, when I was a lad and you stepped out of line then local beat bobby would give you a clout round the lugs. Not happy then let's take you home and father give you another one.
I was no angel growing up and had a few good hidings, but I deserved them. Boundaries and respect were awash.
Today. There's no respect. Not able to enforce boundaries. I should know, daughter at 14 run out the house at 11pm. Went looking, found her and tried to put her in the car and take her home. This was midnight and she was kicking and screaming and I thought what does this look like. So she ran off and I phoned cops. Two hours later I was arrested for assault for trying to get her in the car and take her home. Thankfully nothing came of it and it was 12 years ago.
So much to say the youth of today, and I'm going back 15 to 20 years, has no respect for authority and hence the chuck it in and foxtrot Oscar.
When I work in somebody's house then the work has to be as good as though I am doing it in my own house. Otherwise I'm not happy and will do it again.
I just cannot understand how these people can just chuck it in, get their money and do one.
I couldn't sleep at night.
Is that wrong? Personally I don't think so.
I will continue my high standards, put other muppets work right and sleep soundly.
As for the problem of bodget and scarper I think it is seated much deeper in the society we live in.
Time for bed.
