Even if your mum decided to carry it, your own conscience will not allow her to.
The Gen Z we have now are not really Gen Z, let's simply call shameless and idiotic behaviors by name.

You are talking of gen z. Some weeks ago I attended a child dedication reception in the house of my colleague. Her friend, a co-colleauge's son was telling the mum that he wanted to go home and play. A boy of about 10 years. He would say "mummy naa". And the mum would be looking and blinking at him that I was there and i was her oga. At a time, the woman abruptly stood up, apologised to me that she had to take the boy home. And left the party that she was even the one that organised and had to be around till the last guest left because of "mummy naa". And she came to work the following day and started apologising to me. I don't even understand.

Would you have had this same fear if it were someone else's mum? I bet you wouldn't. Why? Because your fear-based respect for your mother would not translate to respect for every other mother or there. So, what real value is it? undecided

2. The shame and idiocy you observe today flow from the shame and idiocy of previous generations, including those you regard as elders today. undecided

It is easy to blame the current generation while conveniently ignoring the fact that the problem started long ago with those you consider your elders, the ones who failed to stand up for their rights as individuals and those of their children. Respect is best when earned, not demanded.

You see this mantra of respect is earned is misleading so many of you. Respect for your parent and elders is not earned im the first instance.

You meet an elderly person in the train standing while you are sitting...you don't need the man do do anything extraordinary to "earn" your respect before you offer him a seat. This phrase has been abused so much that most of you use it as convenient excuse to be rude and disrespectful

1. I disagree with you. There is the basic level of respect we must all have for each other as humans, and this respect is to be equally given to all humans regardless of age, gender, or status. This is where the base respect we have for our parents and elders should also come from. Anything above this base level of respect ought to be earned, either by parents or by those whom you regard as elders in your life. undecided

2. The basic respect I give to a child or toddler, a disabled or sick man or woman, or a pregnant woman that I meet on the same train is the very same respect I would give to that elderly person on the train, nothing more. And this is unearned respect. undecided

3. The one's abusing the phrase are generally those who lack a basic understanding of the fact that all humans should be respected equally, to begin with. The problem isn't the phrase but the lack of understanding, i.e., the ignorance of those who abuse it. undecided

Guy.....you can't manage such outburst.... that was a reflex order ... automatic... didn't have to think ..words just jumped out your mouth!.... talk now think later! Chewing on this ... the girl is spoilt by her mother ...not father. Note ... the mother asked the daughter if she can carry the cake. The g uy took the father role and ordered her to take something and she did immediately. The guy became the father figure ... which shows that she complies with whatever the male ...her father says. I'm almost sure if it were a female telling ordering her to fetch something ...that female would've been in hospital fighting for her life.

On the other hand, the young man too could have told the girl gentlely BUT firmly about assisting her mother to carry the cake so that he wouldn't come off as being too brash.

Well, not sure exactly the scope of problems you were referring to, but disrespect for elders was not celebrated as it is right now. Here on Nairaland a post about someone who slapped an old man, almost every comments says the old man must have deserved it. I couldn't fathom that a time will come that a young man slapping elderly man will be acceptable. If it is about other moral decadence, nudity, sexual excesses , of course, we all know they have been around for a while , the so called GenZ just got bolder with it .

I beg to differ. Those adults you opined are now grandmas have good characters. The only few bad eggs among them would probably be the rebels who wouldn't conform no matter what despite that they were raised well.

You see the mothers of these Gen Zs need parenting themselves. I deal with young people and their parents; I witness first hand how decayed today's parents, especially mothers, are. Sometimes, I blame the men for not looking well enough before making mothers out of some women. Their attitude is disgusting. Like the woman the poster talked about, why would you even ask the girl whether she would carry the cake or not?

The cycle goes on and on with poor parenting and it's consequences because you cannot give what you don't have!

1. The way you all talk about your respect for elders, one would think Nigeria was ever a place where elders were regarded as human beings worth valuing in that country. There was never such a thing, at least in the last 60-something years, though. undecided

2. If a young man were caught slapping an old man attempting to rape his young girl, or attempting to assault a woman, or something along those lines, would you also say this? I believe everything should be handled on a case-by-case basis. undecided

3. I don't buy into these standards of morality that don't make sense, since everyone seems to have their own petty standards. So, as long as no law is being broken, I see no reason why anyone should be shoving such standards down the throat of others as thought they get to decide how others can or cannot act. You are definitely talking to the wrong person here about that morality nonsense. undecided

We keep lying to ourselves a lot on that continent. undecided

So, growing up, they messed things up and even raised many of the hoodlums and damaged elements who are now parents to the Gen Zs you all can't stand, and after all that age transformed them into individuals with good characters? 😂😂😂😂

2. But what you are invariably saying is that the grandmothers and grandfathers whom you claim now have good characters failed to raise the mothers of these GenZers well; this is what you are finally admitting to. undecided

3. They are decayed because their parents before them were also decayed. You can come from a good house and turn around to raise your kids terribly. No matter how hard you try, you will still end up doing a decent job, even if not as good as you were raised. Damaged parents raise damaged kids; the damage of the parents came from their own damaged upbringing. undecided

4. Somewhere in this cycle are those grandmothers and grandfathers whom you now pretend are with good characters. undecided

The posters response was by default, it just came out ni, didn't really have to think it through. grin

For a girl in her late teens. The behaviour was inappropriate.

I have realized one thing though children can and will misbehave if they know there are no consequences , even 4 year olds know it.

The children aren't the problem. Parents are getting tired or too busy to properly raise their children properly. Most of them hide under the guise of advancement in order to hide their shame for raising very lazy, disrespectful and disconnected kids.

There are still well trained children.

Some parents can't help but over pamper their children. I have two boys and I hardly chastise them because I have deep soft spot for them.
My wife often is the one that administers disciplinary measures and I find her method uncomfortable at times.
