Family = best place to share and learn good things

I have some interesting conversations with one of taxi driver. We chatted about how is the teenager nowdays.
1). Ignorance
2). Selfish
3). Dress-up without respect to themself
4). Complain about work, school, etc
5). When come to work , expects high salaries with low responsibility

Uncle- taxi driver said, that is because the parents spoilt them. Both parents work and only see their kids at night and weekend. Not much time to share with family. Parents do not want their kids bother them, so whatever kids want and ask, they will give.
Part of it, yes, we agreed about that.

But what about when the kids around and gather with their parents? Kids also learn from what their parents do and don’t. I can see some of the Mothers/Fathers, could not stand with their kids, so end-up scolded them or pinched them when they are naughty or even when they asked too many questions.
So, it is not about how little time can spend with kids, but it is the values to spend with the kids. I have friends who are very patient with their kids, always listening what is her son/daughter talking when they get together. And tell them nicely to say “NO” to their kids, with low tone of voices and just give some reason why can not and why not.
Also I saw a mother with 2 kids (around 2 years and below 1 year) inside train, she was playing with them for the whole journey. It is nice to see how her kids so happy.
Most of the time, in public places often I see parents shouted to their kids and even shouted to their baby…. oh, my God, why they did that?

We can not blame when both parents are working. Nothing wrong to prepare kids to have a better future by giving good home, foods and good education.
The important is when they have time to spend with their kids, they should spend with a good “values”.

The uncle- taxi driver also gave another reason, why for some families will have a good kids. He said depends on what is the religion. We do not agree about this.
For me, all religions or beliefs are good, why? Because all teach the good things to us.
But everything will come back to each person, how they want to live and life . And again, the foundation will start from family.

What do you think?
