I always get a little annoyed by articles where an older person is slamming younger kids for being lazy and entitled. Laziness and entitlement in under 25 year old kids is a learned behavior. They learned it from a system set up by adults. If you want kids to be responsible, teach them self sufficiency and personal responsibility. Make they pay the consequences for their bad decisions early in life. Make them realize that no one is going to take care of them when they are adults. Teach them that the government isn’t there to be a substitute mommy and daddy so that they don’t have to grow up and work.

Our schools and other institutions and even a lot of parents have taught these kids the wrong values. Or perhaps the parents weren’t there to teach the kids. So if Josh Harrison thinks that under 25s are lazy little s___ts, he needs to look in the mirror for who is to blame.

I tend to agree with you, strongly, but have had some upsetting moments recently in my family life.

Five children, two who are super hard working, gung ho and out there achieving in their chosen fields.

One who is slowly moving along her path, not in any hurry, but holding her own.

And two who look like their butts are permanently attached to couches.

How in the world did I get such a spread?

How many children do you think he has? He’s a recruiter, not an NBA player.
