The main problem here namabiru is that many of the children here are not given any boundaries, and when they cross those lines there is not appropriate reprimands.

Now I am just generalising here I know and there is some really good parenting going on in this country, but there is not enough of it.

Another problem is that in many families here, the parents have very little contact with their own children - its nannies and maids that bring them up. The children have no respect for the nannies as they just follow their parents example as they too generally have little respect for them.

I too was brought up where I knew the line and never dared to cross it.
