Re: What is wrong with today's parents?       07/06/05 03:32 PM Edit Reply Quote Yoda (formerly Hans) Reged: 01/22/03 Posts: 3682 Loc: Canada All I know is that I thank God my parents raised me right. I was always provded everything I needed, but by no means were we on easy street. I remember I worked EVERY summer since I was in grade 8. I saved almost ALL the money to pay for university. My parents helped, but I payed my share too. I never had brand name stuff. And you know what? I'm GREATFUL. Those kids that get everything - their parents are doing them a disservice. What happens to them when they get into the real world? Are their parents going to continue to give them everything on a silver platter? How are they going to make their own way????? I could go on and on about this. All I know is that my son is starting JK in the fall and he will NOT be wearing name brand clothes. We live in a good neighbourhood, next to a low income neighbourhood. I'm afraid he'd get teased if he showed up with name brand clothes. We can easily afford them, but I choose not to buy them. Our son is going to earn his way. He already helps out around the house and he's not even 4!!! NO spoiled kids in this family! They'll be contributing members that will have to earn their way THE HARD WAY!!!! -------------------- Formerly HanSolo. IBS, OCD, Bipolar, PTSD times 3. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
