    The kid is 6 years old. His behavior is not his fault... it's the fault of his parents for spoiling him and letting him be rude and disrespectful to people.

    It's obvious the kid doesn't appreciate the material items he has been given. So sad. He'll probably grow up to be a miserable adult looking for happiness in a bigger house, a nicer car... a younger wife.

    I agree with KSH. Sounds like the kid was just repeating what he heard his father say. That's an excellent example for your kid to complain about 'safety rules'.

    Yup... those behaviours are learned behaviours... that father just gave everyone an insight into his own personality/behaviours or his partners.

    The child is just mirrroring what has been modelled to him, and until someone says something to him, he won't change. And there's the rub. We can't say anything because our (Western) culture deems that the parenting role is sacrosanct and we cannot interfer.

    Lets hope this child has some other role-models enter his life who can have a more positive effect on his life and set him up for social success...


    Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
    "I will try again tomorrow".
