It’s all about appearances. And now we have the master of empty suits about to reside in the White House.

And we wonder why Social Services is such judgemental asses over the parenting of our children.
And why these ninnies want to come into the workforce making $50k to $75k a year.
And why they go on stupid “Rate me” sites to garner self esteem.
And so on and so on...

She believes that decades of relentless, uncritical boosterism by parents and school systems may be producing a generation of kids with expectations that are out of sync with the challenges of the real world.I think that this Christmas is going to teach some kids that they do not always get what they want. Parents are going to be forced to manage expectations of their kids.

She believes that decades of relentless, uncritical boosterism by parents and school systems may be producing a generation of kids with expectations that are out of sync with the challenges of the real world. Hence the increase in the number of antidepressant and antipsychotic drugs being proscribed after they get a taste of the real world.

No wonder they love Obama. Obama’s done virtually nothing, and promises he’ll fix everything. Obama carries himself as if he were the most successful 2 term president in the history of mankind.
We are so screwed.

I constantly remind my children just how over confident kids are these days. I reinforce the message that hard work begets success, although not immediately and not without failures.
Good judgement comes from experience.
Experience comes from bad judgement.

To: Sopater
Self esteem, as a false self confidence, a belief that everything will go right, can be devastating. True self esteem is the ability to face failure and adversity, without being morally crushed. True self esteem enables one to learn from failures and use that knowledge as a basis for success.
Which self esteem is it that the new generation is brimming with?
