[QUOTE="Coosh71, post: 1568331, member: 25267"] My parents always worked their tails off and so did I as a kid. As my kids got a lil older they had chores etc. No allowance etc. They always complained that NONE of their friends had chores at all. I told them it was cost of living. It's not that our kids should cook our dinner but damn what's gonna happen when they get out on their own and can't do laundry, check their oil or burn toast? We have really messed things up as a whole for this generation right now. No doubt in my mind that social media, cell phone, I this I that and instant gratification are to blame. And we shoveled it to them by the truck load. My son welds (22) and my daughter (20) is in college. I gave my son his one and only pick up when he left home at 18 and gave my daughter her car when leaving for college. She pays her way in every way. Waitresses, sorority, apartment and car maintenance. And that's the best parenting I've ever done. It's ok for our kids to be a little scared and figure life things out. [/QUOTE]
