Raising up "brats" is tough.
I'm reading Isaiah chapter 1, and verse 2 reads, Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.
How many of you have rebellious teenagers? You raised them up the best you know how, and for some reason, your little "angels" manage to have horns sticking out through their halos.
Driving my son to work this morning, he's telling me that a woman that he works for has to appear in court because her two teenagers, ages 14 and 16 simply will not go to school.
I do not know where the dad is.
I raised three teenagers, and when they get a mind of their own, they do get hard to handle. They think that they know it all, and that mom and dad are the stupidest people ever! They can be 14 going on 35!
And you do have to be careful now days in how you discipline your kids. If your child acts up in Walmart for example, and you decide to discipline your child on the backside, you will some people call the law on you. And if you do not discipline your child, some people gets angry over that. So you feel damn if you do, and damn if you don't.
And should the parents have to paid for it, when your child get caught smoking in school?
Your darling little angels can turn into brats. Many times when I read about the children of Israel rebelling, I say to God, Are these the children of Israel, or did you think of them as being the "brats" of Israel?
I know that many of you have far greater wisdom than I do. And now my kids are now adults. Thank God for that! But my question for you, What is the best way in today's society, to raise up your children, so they won't even think about being rebellious, or the parents going to the court system or possibility to Jail?
