Simply a lack of disciplineOct 22 '00 Write an essay on this topic.I have made my discipline issues known in a previous review and this Epinion is based upon Lack of discipline and average parenting that I witness every day. I live in the middle of the woods and 2 years ago a lady and her 12 year old daughter bought the house next door that was previously used as a seasonal home. We were not thrilled to have full time neighbors, we like the quietness but my first thought was at least now my daughter would have a playmate. Well now I am more inclined to move somewhere even more recluse!! Don't get me wrong I love people and I especially love kids but it is hard to live next door to someone who has no parenting skills what-so-ever and try to continue to be pleasant to her child. This little girl has absolutely no respect for anyone. She back talks her mother and every adult I have ever seen her in contact with, she does what she wants with often no consequences involved because her mother lets it all slide, and when this girl is in my home she does everything possible to irritate me and my family. Just a few examples would be: her mouth which often gets her sent back home; her sneakiness where she sends my 9 year old out to ask for something which she knows will be denied or the fact that she will act out knowing I will have to ask them to stop; her bullying where she threatens my daughter with friendship knowing my daughter will do anything to keep her friends and the fact that one time she actually man-handled my daughter which will never happen again; and her neediness which I chalk up to lack of attention on her mother's part and this often makes me feel sorry for her but only leads her to take advantage of my kindness which once again ends up making me mad. I would not like to say that I dislike this particular child because of her actions but in some sad way I do. I know this isn't her fault she acts the way she does I completely blame her mother for not making her mind, for not showing her any respect, and for not doing for her child what every parent should do but it is very hard when I go out of my way for this girl to make her feel wanted in my home only for her to act out in any way she feels, to disrespect me in my own home and then to turn on my child when she doesn't like what I have to say. In my take of the whole situation it would have to be mostly lack of attention from her mother but I think that a little bit of discipline would have taken this child a long way!! I think her mother's lack of parenting is only going to make this child have a rude awakening when she steps out into the real world where her actions will not be taken lightly.  |
