Well as an educator I can tell you kids say things now that they never would have said 30 years ago. I believe social media is partly to blame.
I also believe young parents are different today. I have a niece whose kids have no manners. They don’t say hello, thank you, nothing. They eat like animals. I’m not even kidding. Not all kids are like this but it’s becoming more common in my experience. We attended mass for Easter. My nieces son (he’s 8) decided to attend looking like ace Ventura. Hawaiian shirt, flip flops, hair intentionally sticking up. Making faces all through mass and my niece smiling about it. I found it extremely rude towards my sister( his grandmother) because it was her church and people she knew who saw it. My niece constantly talks about the off the wall things her kids do. Like a badge of honor or trying to show how hard her life is. It’s exhausting. So it’s no wonder with that sort if parenting that kids have no boundaries.
Oh and everything is my *****, my ******. They have to use the correct terms which is fine but they think it’s normal to talk about those things constantly. Nothing is private or modest.
