It's being, the parents of one! Mind you, the kids I can take. It's the experts who get me down. They seem to take fiendish delight in raking us parents over the coals. The world's a mess • we did it. The youth are rebelling , • it's our fault. According to them just about everything we say, or do, or think is wrong. Don't believe a word of it . • it's all balderdash. Why, if we were to listen seriously to what all these self-called experts spout off we'd end up as confused as bats in a church. One of these virtuosos I heard within the last two years told a group of parents, in very sharp language, that we were being too tough on our kids and worrying too much about them. "No young person," he informed us, "should have any restrictions placed on him or her after the age of 13, What they'll learn from their mistakes will do far more for them than any advice or restrictions you put upon them," he ended up flatly. Now, you have to admit his plan has some merit. Besides, it's a nice way out for parents. However, should you decide to follow his advice, be prepared. For just when your 14 year old has got himself into a nice kettle of fish-trouble and you are consoling yourself about what a good lesson he is learning, another expert is sure to pop up on the scene immediately. Waving his finger under your nose accusingly he will thunder, "Where in heaven's name were you while your child was getting into this mess. That's the trouble with parents today . . . no time to look after their children and to see to it that they keep out of trouble." Surprisingly enough . . or maybe not . . . most of these well informed ginks are either old enough to be OUR fathers or so young that their own children are still in that lovely, comfortable age group between one month and ten years. What do they know? They aren't in the front line of battle like you and I. Take it from me you and I are about the best experts in the field and we'd better start believing it or we may be in trouble. One of these fellows, scarcely dry behind the ears himself, admitted quite openly that he didn't even have one sibbling to his name. Yet he had the audacity to tell us old timers with four or five or six that if our children were smoking, drinking or using drugs it was because we parents were smoking like chimneys, getting stoned every Saturday night and popping in so many pills that our kids were confused. "You are not communicating with them," he also accused us. Poppycock! I deplore such generalization. Most of my best friends are parents. Many of them do not smoke, or are trying hard to kick the habit to prove to their offspring that they believe it is a dangerous habit. They are certainly not coming home drunk every week. Neither are they addicted to taking ,pills. As to communicating, most parents are knocking themselves out trying to understand their children and have good relationships with them. I'll bet there is more dialogue between oldsters and youngsters than there has ever been, I'm sure no group of parents (of course, there are exceptions) has ever been more earnest about doing what's the right things for their young people. Maybe this is where we fall short. Maybe we try too hard and do too much for them. When has there ever been so many committees of puzzled parents sitting together with furrowed brows trying to conjure up new ways to help the young? Young people sit around and talk too. One of the favorite topics for these endless bull sessions is the faults of the older generations, parents in particular. I know, I've heard them. They are often aided and abetted and even masterminded by some of these 'experts' I've been talking about. Well, I'm sick of it. It might just be to the young people's advantage if they took an inward journey and examined themselves for a change. I suggest to them and the experts that when a young buck is offered his first shot of booze he does NOT say "Yes, thank you very much, I will have a shot. You see my old lady and I are not communicating very well these days." Morehap he is thinking that if he doesn't accept the drink he is going to look pretty chicken in the eyes of his friends. "Everybody else is doing it," he thinks, "so why shouldn't I try it?" He starts because of the pressure from his peers. And let's face the facts. Should he be hooked on any of the 'social habits' mentioned before it's because he hasn't the courage or the integrity to stand out from the crowd. Youth likes to think it is a great group of non-conformists. They are, in fact, the greatest conformists the world has ever seen. Many of them, like sheep led to the altar, follow blindly along after their 'leaders'. They can't always lay the blame on their parents if they mess up their lives. They've got to start pulling up their own socks sometime. We all know people who raised in homes with poor relationships have turned out to be first rate citizens and a credit to themselves. We also know others who, brought up in good homes by conscientious parents, turned out badly. Why? Partly because some have the strength and stamina to make it on their own. Others just haven't got what it takes. Never have I been one to knock young people. I love them and have worked and lived with them for 20 years. Many of them are the greatest. They have to be. There's no doubt about it, the job they have to tackle in cleaning up the world is a tough one, Then for Goodness Sakes let's not make it tougher for them by brainwashing them into thinking they can whine and pass the buck everytime they make a mistake and things go wrong. Let's tell them to look themselves and their world right in the eye and be honest about what they see. Let's ask them to have the courage to strike out at the proper time when they see a wrong that needs correcting. But let's try to show them the stupidity of causing a ruckus for the sake of making a noise. Let's teach them to obey the laws we have now but to have enough gumption to reform the law where reform is needed when they have the power to do 30. Yes, it's tough to be teenager and it's tough too to be a parent. But maybe if we stop listening to so many experts and stop talking about each other so much and just start using our God given common sense we'll get through 'these days' together.
