人是喜新厌旧的。 My sister just came in and told me how my pampered cousin was scolded today by my dad and she complained about it in her blog. I always knew my dad had the fierce demeanour to exert enough authority and instill fear in anyone, no matter how unwilling they are. I seem to be making my dad out to be scary but it is not k. He is nice. You just need to listen to what he says. Anyway, if anyone is interested, the whole issue was that there were guests in my grandparents' house and she was watching DVD at I suppose quite a high volume. When she was told to turn down the volume and stop watching, she refused. So my dad went over and said that both the DVD player and the TV were bought by him and that he has the right over them (wow!!) and she reluctantly switched it off and ran off to a room and locked herself in. Then a series of other exchanges went on and it resulted in her being angry at my dad. I think she even scolded him, not in front of him of course.
Well, kids nowadays are definitely hard to tame. Parents being over-protective of them and give in to their every whims. When others try to discipline their kids for them, they get scolded. So kids are rude, ill-disciplined and with no respect for anyone at all. When the parents finally discovered that their kids are super disrespectful and rude then they try to scold them and stuff. Of course, it is too late. I can only say good luck to my uncle in disciplining the devil.
Kids nowadays really have good life. Their parents can afford and are willing to buy anything for them and allow them to do whatever they want. When I was a child, I can only remember that I was always caned. Ok, that is being unfair. There were also happy memories but what I'm trying to say is that I did not have it so well. My parents were strict and made sure that I turn out right. At least I think I am a good and well-mannered person. Kids are such troublesome things. I shudder at the thought of taking care of them..
