When I was a kid you called adults sir or ma'am or Mr, Mrs, or Miss. You didn't address them by 1st name or other ways. And when you did something wrong you were corrected via corporal punishment (i.e. spanking) as well as loss of privileges for a time. Now kids get sent to their room where they have a computer, dvd player, cell phone etc. and we can't give them a well earned swat on the bottom without risking getting into trouble.

And when did pajamas become acceptable going-out attire? My parents would have shat a brick if I went to a store in pajama bottoms and slippers. I'm jealous of the days when men wore a suit and a gentleman's hat to a baseball game and ladies dressed like ladies. Kids don't have any respect for anything, not even their own appearance. Have some bloody pride and dress like a human being.
I really should be shaking my fist and yelling to stay off my lawn....and I'm only 35. *facepalm*
