I was thinking to myself today. "This world is messed up." One of the worst things in it is that parents (most of them) don't care anymore. They don't care about there kids or there families, all they care about is themselves. I go to work at 12:00am on Friday mornings and the things I see just amaze me. Kids who are no older than 13 just walking around in the alleys at 3:00 in the morning. Other people just sitting in there cars starring straight forward on the side streets (not moving a muscle.)
Then I see the vandalism that happens around town. I never understood why someone would damage someone else's property just for the hell of it. At least if you steal something you gain something (not that I condone stealing.)
So the only explanation I can think of is that these kids' parents just don't give a damn. They probably have more important things to do, like get drunk or get high. This problem just seems to get worse with each day that passes. Pretty soon nobody will care about anybody and then this world will be in chaos.
I'm just glad that there's people like my parents and my sisters, who do give a damn and are willing to sacrifice time, so they can spend it with family. They are the ones that give me hope that this world won't be in chaos in the future.

Can I say, I agree that many parents don't care anymore, or they don't know how to, or they have just given up. Parenting is not easy, but it is not something you can ever give up on... never give up on your kids or the kids you know in your neighborhood. We all need to be "extra" parents for those kids that we can help that may not have what they so desperetly need at home. L.O.V.E.
P.S. you are a great DAD yourself!
One of the strongest and most effective ways to combat this is to set the example. I agree with your idea of an influential deficit. We must set the example both for our kids, and for others because if we don't, than we have no premise for complaint. Keep up the hard work!
Hey! Thanks for the shoutout to your sista's. You aren't too bad yourself! Love ya!
