@Mzebisto said:

“Most of all, marriage is not an achievement but a blessing from God. Not all men and women will be married in our lifetime, also not forget that how men and women see marriage is not the same for all.”

@AfricaRise6 reacted:

“What the kids are pointing out is that, try not to have them out of wedlock. In seriousness, it does hurt the kids when parents are not in the same household.”

@Mandlela9 said:

“Kids are mean and brutal, one my 8-year-old nephew asked me for money and I told him I don't have it he said, 'I wonder umuntu onjani omdala ongenayo imali,' I'm still heartbroken.”

Our readers react: Why are kids so disrespectful and violent?

In more news about cheeky children Briefly.co.za reported that many South Africans were left fuming after the recent ruling by the constitutional court.

The ruling forbids parents from spanking their children at home and many parents felt that government is interfering with their parental duties.

With this in mind, Briefly.co.za conducted a survey via Facebook to establish why children are deemed to be more violent and disrespectful than in days gone by.

R Based on the feedback, there were some common trends that stuck out - religion being phased out of schools, parents not taking enough responsibility and questionable government legislation.
