Your stories make me sick to my stomach. I know the experience, but luckily not with my PT. Had just bought my 1999 Dodge Caravan Sport and parked it in the hospital parking lot where I worked at the time. Came out at the end of my workday only to find that some punk(s) had taken large landscaping rocks from the clinic across the parking lot and used my van as target practice...smashed the large middle sliding door window ($1000 to replace) and caused $1200 worth of body/paint damage. Thank God for insurance and a low deductible! Mind you, I was also 7 months pregnant at the time...with pregnancy hormones RAGING, those little bastards are lucky I never found them or I would have tied them to a fence and used THEM for target practice with some rocks.
My kids are small (7 and 3) and my husband and I have taught them to respect people AND their property. Unlike too many other parents, my kids
DO NOThave the "power" in my household. I am the adult, I make the rules, and if they break the rules they suffer the consequences (read: punishment). The disgusting behavior of our country's youth is atrocious and, unfortunately, I don't see it getting any better any time soon.
