Whenever I think the younger generations are too spoiled or entitled I think about my own parents, who lived through the Great Depression and WWII, and wonder if they thought the same about me.This exactly. I get so upset with people my age whining about “kids these days” and trying to stop the world from changing. Like our generation (or our parents) lived in some utopia.
They did. And their parents thought that about them… this has been the case as long as there have been parents and kids.Whenever I think the younger generations are too spoiled or entitled I think about my own parents, who lived through the Great Depression and WWII, and wonder if they thought the same about me.
I understand what you are alluding to, Chuck, but I sense that society is declining at a faster rate. To answer your question, "who raised these kids?" I would agree that they were raised in our houses, we fed them. clothed them and gave them shelter, but their major influences were peer pressure, Hollywood, the music industry and the media.They did. And their parents thought that about them… this has been the case as long as there have been parents and kids.
What most people don’t consider is the question “who raised this generation of kids? And who raised them? Makes one think a little
Was it declining at a faster rate when you were young and participating in the decline? Or just now after you are getting old and pulling back? I don’t mean to be a smartass… it’s a serious question. I’m not even 60 yet but the kids are grown, we are entertaining grandchildren, and I see retirement on the horizon. I find my world is shrinking and I too catch myself mumbling “what the hell?” On a regular basis. I try to keep it in perspective.but I sense that society is declining at a faster rate.
