Parenting In The '80s Vs. Parenting Now

Latest Polls (view all)

Under the cover of Covid, and now in the shadow of the infamous Election Irregularities of that fated 2020 presidential election, with current emerging alleged election fraud in Nevada and Pennsylvania inconveniently slipping into the public discourse, there is proved a colluded ongoing Election Interference in the nomination of the Republican candidate, the likes of which has never occurred in our Constitutional Republic's history, albeit, the question remains: Do you support the plain-sight Election Interference of the Democratic Socialist party, employing its minions in their Propagandistic Media, and their Two Tiered Justice System?

98.88% No, I do not support Election Interference; I am a patriot unto our Constitution.

1.12% Yes, I do support Election Interference; the alternative, Donald Trump, to this mentally diminished president is far worse.

0% "What, me worry" if elections are rigged?

    As children of the 1980s now having our own kids, we often look back at our own childhoods and think: "I can't believe my parents let me do that." Parenting back in the 1980s was simply a different ball game than parenting today. Anyway, without any further yappin' from us, here are just a few of the differences between parenting now and parenting in the '80s:

    '80s: Strap excess children to roof of car

    Now: Required to put children in rear-facing car seats until age 25

    '80s: You're not entirely sure where your kids are between 3 and 9 pm

    Now: Embed Apple AirTag under child's skin so you can track him in real time

    '80s: Eat out at a restaurant as a special treat once every few months

    Now: Have a home-cooked meal as a special treat once every few months

    '80s: Kid asks you for $10 so he can go to dinner and the movies with his friends

    Now: Kid asks you for $100 so he can get a value meal at McDonald's

    '80s: Teach kids to say no to drugs

    Now: Prescribe kid 17 antidepressants

    '80s: Tell your daughter it's OK to be a tomboy; not every girl is the same

    Now: Cut off her boobs

    '80s: Kid delighted to receive totally rad He-Man castle playset for Christmas

    Now: Kid upset he only got last year's model iPhone for Christmas

    '80s: Check under kid's mattress for pornography

    Now: Check kid's school library for pornography

    '80s: Tell kid to stop playing video games 'cause they'll rot his brain

    Now: Tell kid to stop playing bad video games like Fortnite and play the classics on your old NES instead

    '80s: Complain about how lazy and entitled kids these days are

    Now: Same

    There you have it. Whether you parented some bad-to-the-bone kids in the '80s or are trying to parent some lazy entitled Gen Zers today, we can all agree: kids are weirdos.
