RE: Daily Dose of Sultnpapper 06/17/18> Fathers Day in the USA… another mistake in raising our children.

in #blog6 years ago

Happy Father's Day, @sultnpapper. It is the fault of the parents and our society that children don't have respect for anything. For example, in the country, Mother's day is a national holiday held o May 30th every year. A big commercial splash. Father's day is sort of a none event held on the 23rd of June. No national holiday. Not much commercial advertising. No fanfare. When I first came to live here, I asked why. I was told because fathers are not important because too many are abusive and deadbeat dads. Say what?

To me, Fathers day, Mothers day and any other holiday they would like to throw in there, should be something you celebrate every day. Honour your parents and respect them 365 days a year. Not just one random day someone said that was the day to show your love and respect.

It would seem that every country in the world is suffering from similar problems. Lack of respect. It is a problem beginning at home and ending with governments who show no respect for each other or the country and people they represent.

Sort:  

You are so correct about respect starting at home, and as a society we have let "home" decline in a very big way. I have always said that we reap what we sow and the seeds of respect have quit being planted years ago. There is no need in me telling you that as you are in the middle of a civil unrest in your country right now and it has been a long time in the making from my understanding.
