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?
“And two who look like their butts are permanently attached to couches.”
With young people sometimes its not so much that they are lazy its that they don’t know what to do or how to even look for work. (so much for our public school system).
That being said its more than OK for you to push and nag them every day. Don’t let them watch TV or play video games all day. Don’t keep the frig stocked, etc. and constantly show them who’s hiring or what degrees/programs are worthwhile.
