Social media plays a huge role in all of this.
Thankful for what? For the fact that their parents voted for politicians who would give them goodies and stick their kids with the bill?
I agree. Kids have access to what every other kid in the world is doing or has and believe they too should have the same. Social media is the perfect medium for the socialist/communist generation.
My parents ALWAYS worked hard and took care of us the best they could.
They did a good job. And we did the same for our kids.
Likely 4 of 5 parents didn’t spank their kids either...so what did they expect?
Children should be grateful if they have 2 caring parents.
Grew up very poor but never complained to my parents, ever. Mindset was just factual, I simply knew I didn’t have what my friends had.
I blame a lot of parents. 8 and 10 year old kids get $1100 latest and greatest iPhones??! They create these spoil, entitled infant terribles.
I agree. But "care" is a combination of trying to care, and knowing how to care. Parents who say they care while taking actions that harm their kids are not caring parents.
“Here kid, there’s a phone and a computer, soyonara!
What they’re not grateful?”
Note that the above link takes you to the video, but you have to turn on the sound and click the image to start it up.
. . . and I’d be grateful to anyone who told me how to change that link so that it would autostart.
yes!!
Exactly, Care is limited to white privilege these days. All words have double meanings in the political lexicon.
“parents say” and who raised them?
“It’s not so much about being thankful when you’re young, it’s not knowing how the world operates. My job as a kid was to work hard in school and do some chores.....and be respectful.”
BINGO! That’s all my parents asked for. Keep up your grades, graduate, get out of the house when you’re 18 and dont get any girl pregnant before you hit 25 and dont get a criminal record. (that’s what my dad told me)
Gratitude. Never asked them for money after high school and I paid for their cars and mortgage after graduating from Stanford.
I said it before, its going to take a serious economic depression to make this generation understand how good they had it.
I sound and feel like my father.
No it’s an issue with poor parenting kids learn from their parents.
