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?
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?
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.
“Here kid, there’s a phone and a computer, soyonara!
What they’re not grateful?”
“parents say” and who raised them?
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.
“It starts when you begin to overlook bad manners. Any time you quit hearin’ ‘sir’ and ‘mam’ the end is pretty much in sight… The old people I talk to, if you could of told em that there would be people on the streets of our Texas towns with green hair and bones in their noses speakin’ a language they couldn’t even understand, well, they just flat out wouldn’t of believed you. But what if you’d of told em it was their own grandchildren?”
“parents say children today aren’t as thankful as they should be”
Said every single generation of parent since the dawn of time, LOL.
And whose fault is that?
Teach your kids better.
