parents and kids these days

parents this days...they say:its not easy to be a parent...
kids this days...they say:when im a parent,im so not gonna giv hard time to my kids..

basically,parents and kids these days,i think,they dont understand each other...hmmm..but then again,parents dont simply dont let their kids do things coz they wanna protect them..they love them...but kids,they want freedom..hmmm...two different minded people we have here...wat do u think of this?have u ever thought,who is right n who is wrong?and if u r a kid now,when u grow to be a parent,are u gonna do the same to ur kids?or the opposite?and if u r a parent now,what r u gonna do to ur kids?still love n protect them by not giving them the freedom they want?or love them by letting them do things which u know will eventually destroy ur kids life?
