  Alright, to end the night here, let's talk about the lack of
• 0:08
  parents or parenting that is clearly on full display in
• 0:17
  society today. So Long story short, why do you
• 0:23
  think so many parents aren't actually being what they're
• 0:28
  supposed to be with his parents 'cause you have too many of them
• 0:35
  trying to be their child's friend instead of a parent.
• 0:43
  I will tell you this though if I ever got any.
• 0:47
  So a major trouble and I can only speak for myself.
• 0:59
  My parents, and again, I'm grateful to so happen with my
• 1:03
  life. They would've kicked my ass if I
• 1:09
  had gone to any sort of major trouble.
• 1:16
  Now see, I don't know why this is the, you know, case here.
• 1:24
  Discipline and holding your children accountable for
• 1:27
  whatever reason is certainly look down on.
• 1:33
  Why do you think that is? Because everybody believes that
• 1:37
  if you quote UN quote, discipline your child, you will
• 1:41
  essentially alienate them. I'm sorry, I thought holding
• 1:52
  your children accountable was the right way to go about it.
• 2:01
  I thought that enforcing discipline wasn't a bad thing,
• 2:06
  and I certainly don't that there's a point to be made of
• 2:11
  teaching your children to be responsible for every mistake
• 2:16
  they made, no matter how small or large it is.
• 2:24
  But you know what's really also apparent here in society today?
• 2:29
  And I've said this actually once before, where bears were peeing.
• 2:33
  People have gone too damn soft and you see why a great handful
• 2:41
  of their kids ultimately go out in the world thinking they could
• 2:46
  get away with almost anything they feel like and not have to
• 2:49
  suffer the consequences. All Stars at home.
• 3:00
  If you can't learn if you're a parent to hold your child
• 3:04
  accountable, then how do you think it's going to be when they
• 3:07
  find themselves in a significant scenario what they're all doing?
• 3:14
  But because you didn't have the foresight when they were much
• 3:17
  younger to actually hold themselves accountable when they
• 3:22
  were kids, it's only a matter of time before they end up finding
• 3:28
  themselves in a significant issue to where they could spend
• 3:33
  decades plus in prison. And if you're a parent, you are
• 3:39
  going to ask the routine question that you're handful of
• 3:42
  them do. Where did I go wrong?
• 3:45
  Or what was it that I could have done better when the answer was
• 3:52
  right in front of you in the mirror this whole time?
• 3:57
  That had you actually done what you were supposed to do as a
• 4:03
  parent, teaching them the basics of right and wrong, how to do
• 4:08
  things a certain way and not be someone who thinks that the
• 4:14
  rules don't apply to them, that would be a good start.
• 4:19
  Unfortunately, a large part of them will never understand that,
• 4:24
  because you ultimately not only failed as a parent, but you
• 4:32
  failed as a human. Now, yes, the children have to
• 4:36
  your child rather has to take the responsibility themselves.
• 4:40
  That is perfectly evident. But you as a parent, you did
• 4:45
  yourself absolutely no favors by not teaching them
• 4:50
  accountability, taking responsibility for their actions
• 4:55
  in manning up to their shortcomings.
• 4:59
  So if you're a parent who ultimately feels, you know at a
• 5:04
  certain point your child ever gets into a major trouble
• 5:08
  scenario, yes, the child, as I said, has to take their part to
• 5:14
  blame. But so do you, because you chose
• 5:18
  to not do what you should have been doing all this time, which
• 5:22
  was to actually be a parent, not their friend.
