hello i just thought i would touch on a subject that seems to be the NEW norm in this country and that is "Entitlement" .i have 3 kids and let me tell you as much as i love them ...they drive me insane.
i set forth simple general rules for the household ( be respectful, do as you are asked ) that sort of stuff ...but as hard as i work to teach them that nothing grows on trees and you actually have to "work" for what you want in life ...they have friends that basically get things handed to them like its a God given human right ...kids and even some adults now a days expect to get something for nothing as if it is a "right" ...i was taught that there are 2 certainties in life "death and taxes". and honestly i think that we have done this to our kids ...we might not have liked the way we were raised so when we finally had kids of our own, instead of following in the ways we were taught we chose to go soft and "give " our kids everything without teaching them the value of those things...i myself never got anything handed to me and i am very great full for that fact because it made me a stronger, more respectful and understanding person...let me know what you think in the comments...
