RE: Market Friday Give Thanks and Bookstores, Not Necessarily in that Order

in #marketriday5 years ago

It's funny that you should say that because that is one of my biggest pet peeves it is how people are raising their children these days. The phone has become the Pinnacle of every child's day, even as young as kindergarteners. I was in the grocery store the other day and there were two children that were whining because their mother would not give them her cell phone. Her cell phone! I can only imagine what my mother would give me if I whined about something like that. Well there is no imagining, because that would never happen.

The ways of the world have changed so much since I was a kid and honestly it wasn't long enough to warrant this type of change. I think that the parents have to take the bulk of the responsibility even though many people point the finger at Society. Ultimately, we are in charge of our children. It depends on what you allow in your house and even though Society May judge them a little bit harshly for being behind oh, there are ways to raise your children in the manner that you find amenable to you. Of course, people will tell you that both husband and wife need to work live in today's world but that is not true. The truth is we have different expectations of how we should live. We have this sense of entitlement that we should have a big house two cars and all the trappings of the good life. Do I not think that we should? I think each person has to judge now they want to live but I can say that I would rather have a life then to work my entire life just to live. Well I'll get off my soapbox now. I hope you have a most wonderful weekend!
