thanks for that amen
Thank you Gidget. I’m the eldest of five, the youngest being ten years younger than me and she’s the worst brat I have ever seen in my life–i’m so glad i’m the eldest but then again i hate having to see my younger siblings suffer because my parents were so lax in their upbringing.
it really gets me to realize we have been becoming WAY TO DEPENDENT ON TECHNOLOGY, easy lawsuits (started with that wrench that sued mcdonalds JUST BECAUSE HER COFFEE WAS HOT!!!) i mean come on that just sends a message that anyone can be sue happy…
I realize so much of that!!! wow
i am only twelve but that was kind of interesting in a disgusting scary way, how did my Mom survive it is wat i want to know!!!!
I’m giving you a star, not bc I’ve experienced this (I’m only 24) but bc my best friend Shawn has and he’s a great guy in-spite of these things, oddly enough i think he might have been teething on that lead-lined crib
thankyou and you can have a star for reminding me
gracias`policia`Espanol`-Spain`
We also didn’t pay $100.00+ for a pair of tennis shoes and had no designer labels on our clothes, walked to get somewhere and could go to the store with a mere quarter for candy and a soda. We had no microwave ovens so we learned to cook and had to walk across the room to change channels on the television, (there were only about 7 choices, though). We did homework without being told too, and if we got in trouble at school, that was nothing compared to when our parents found out about it! I do worry about the future of our world and how the generations to come will cope with hardships since life has become so coddling.
Yes, it’s amazing what a nation of sniveling pansies we are becoming.
Oh, MAN, was I born in the wrong decade! I’ve always wanted to live back then, I’m SO not meant to be a teenager of the twenty-first century
That was really amazing to read. Thanx!
amen
p.s. i was born in ’84 and did all of this…. got out of school at 3 came in at 7 for dinner, went to bed.! Never had cable tv, didn’t need it.! Got a BB gun when I was 9, broke both ankles, 10 fingers and 3 toes falling out of trees and off of swing sets…
but i would trade all that in for an x box… JUST KIDDING!!! stupid kids
Thank you!
I have 6 little brothers and sisters who are spoiled rotten. (My parents had me when they were really young.) I wasn’t so spoiled growing up! Had cable, but otherwise, my life was as you stated it. Now I see my brothers and sisters with cell phones, a car, bought and paid for by mom, and the most horrible work ethic EVER- my little bro and sis work at a season ice cream store MAYBE 20 hours a week IN THE SUMMER only and complain about it. I started working as a waitress at the age of 14, bought my own car with my own money and did ALL the same extra curriculars they do in school..and I survived and I’m thankful for it. I’m thankful to not be a sniveling, whiney, spoiled little brat! Because when it was time to face the real world, I knew what to expect and it wasn’t a huge slap in the face like it will be for some teen agers today! Oh, and I have a 5 year old son who is going to grow up with the same work ethic and attitude and who I’m gently teaching the whole "deal with it " attitude to. It’s the best thing possible for him! I know that and when he grows up and has learned how to work for the things he wants, he’ll be a much happier human being. I know I am. =)
