Children as Parents

I was just reading this post -


over at Suburb Sanity. I wonder how old the grandparents are? Maybe they are only 30 or so!

It makes you wonder just what is going on. Look at Bristol Palin. She got herself in trouble and now she's a cover girl. She did not have much of an example from her mother who at 44 got accidentally pregnant.

Read this post, it expresses some of my thoughts!
You look at one of the top rated TV shows for tween girls - "The Secret Life of An American Teenager" on the ABC Family channel. A 15 year old girl gets pregnant after having sex for the 1st time. This channel used to have wholesome entertainment but that got lost somewhere!
What happened to parenting? You should not be your child's friend. I think that is what happened with some people. They can't say no to their children and let them run wild. Some people stop parenting around age 10 or 11 figuring that the job is done, but kids need parenting much, much longer than that.
What do you think??

I don't know what to think anymore. It all sickens me. What is wrong, is right today. What is right, is wrong today. And it happened so very fast.
