Good old days

We were on fb last night remembering the good ole days as kids and the differences between today's children. Their xboxes, their sense of self entitlement to eat what they want. Tell their parents no. Reject playing outside for the comfort of inside play and staying in adult faces. I was thinking as elders. If the way our parents raised us is still in our spirits. Than in a sense they are not old, but waiting to be applied by today's parents of infants. They already know that raising your kids as "Oh by the way items" and pacifying them with video games, etc. doesn't work! They may be tired of hearing the stories of how we were raised, but we need to keep telling them for constructive suggestion.

  1. Going through this now and it's an uphill battle. Shouldn't be but it is. I think there's a greater stress level on the working class which lends to the pacifying of children.
