I have read this entire thread. I cant agree more. This entire country has this mentality, something for nothing. Kids get whatever they want and dont "work" for anything. This really started to hit home when my daughter,6, was born and we would go play. Rewards for everyone, no spankings, etc, etc, etc. Not going to repeat everything listed previously. One reason I got out of Marines in 99, was because I got tired of being a dad and babysitter!!! Oh Sgt I dont feel like doing that today, what......!!! You couldnt take care of things the way they needed to be. Anyway, now I am seeing it in every martial arts class I have been to. Kids and adults not wanting to do things, cant break a board, well then you dont get belt!! that simple.
My daughter is not and will not be in this catagory. She runs and falls down, she gets up and keeps going!! We have to take into our hands as parents and fix or kids generation so they can retake this country from the MEDICATED KIDS. Hopefully we as a nation can hold out until then.
For the record, mom had stock in the wooden spoon manufacture, and had a holster for that bad boy. No matter where we were, she would whip one out of nowhere and get busy on my ass!!!! We laugh about it now, but it helped.
I am guessing that most here are in their mid to late 30's. Glad to see that I am not the only one seeing this happen to our kids and nation.
Take care and maybe, just maybe we can make America strong and feared around the world again.
