Rearing A Child "In the Way They Should Go"

Many have noticed a widespread retreat from child-rearing responsibility by today's parents. Brats run wild, are traumatized by hearing the word NO, and are paralyzed by the prospect of exerting effort of any kind. Normal exuberant behavior that requires a touch of parental discipline becomes a mental condition cured best by steady doses of legal dope, dispensed in just seconds a day. Once these kids get to school, all thought of any need for parental effort in guidance evaporates - the mantra becomes "his/her teachers don't understand him/her" and ditto for  the school district and on and on. Parents don't get that serial killers, porn stars and Wall Street gangsters actually come from SOMEWHERE.
How gratifying then to learn that it is possible to rear a child for just twenty nine bucks a day! The answer to the whole problem of bringing up kids is STORAGE! After all, raising a child in a small house or apartment is like growing an oak tree in a thimble, right? Indeed it is and all one needs to do in order to learn how to stow their brats away is take the A train!
