My wife and I have done our best to raise ‘dangerous’ kids. Despite their being born around the turn of the century, we’ve done everything we can to give them a 50s upbringing, with all that that implies.
Today three of them work in our business, which we fully expect to pass on to them when we retire. Unlike their fellow millenials, they aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty, and can handle real world adult responsibilities.
It’s a jungle out there. I hope my kids continue to be ‘dangerous’ for the rest of their lives.
I don’t have kids but have friends with kids and one of the themes I hear from my friends who buy into liberalism is how impressed they are that there one friend with kids who is conservative has kids that are willing to work and get there hands dirty. theses liberals all have kids that will do just about anything not to do anything that remotely looks like a chore and they don’t make the connection that it is there liberal up bringing that is turning there kids into free loaders.
When my children would be afraid of the dark as youngsters I encouraged them to be the ones in the dark that others should fear. Our eyes are front-facing on our heads (unlike rabbits, for instance); WE are the predators.
