“The only thing I “gave” them was college and $50 a month spending money; anything extra, fine, get a part time job “and your grades better not suffer”.”
I didn’t even get that. Paid my way through work and scholarships over 8 years of school.
Again, how are we all spoiled?
I don’t recall anyone saying you ALL were spoiled. We are simply calling the obvious of a select few. Those of us with the life experiences have the wisdom to know the difference. You really shouldn’t be so hyper-sensitive, especially if you clearly don’t belong in the group we are referring to. Some of us are clearly making the admonition of our failures. This could be a learning moment for you if you are willing to be objective and observant. Those two traits are what most of us parents are praying for daily.
Welcome to FR BTW.
Since I/me never called you spoiled or inferred that "you" or your contemporaries were, I suspect you might have needed $50 spending money to allow a little more time working on that reading comprehension/critical thinking thing.
