Kids have to be taught right from wrong.

It doesn't necessarily have to involve a smack (but on occaision it may be appropriate.

The problem is kids, in the main, learn from their parents. If the parents are lazy dole scroungers that think the world owes them a favour - then there's a good chance their kids will be to.

Discipline should be installed from an early age, and it is hard work.

I remember watching an episode of "wife swap" and the dead beat mother that had 5 unruly kids said "I don't think kids should be told what to do, they're only young and should be allowed to do what they like" as her kids were running riot around the house.

That is lazy parenting, she doesn't want to discipline not because of some "new age" thinking but because she can't be arsed to get her fat behind off the couch from in front of the TV and interact with her kids and teach then how to behave.

And that is now an all too familier scenario
