Kids Today Need What We Had When We Were Young

I grew up not so priveleged either.
I tried to make my kids work for what they wanted. Half worked.
My son just closed a deal on a house.
Daughter is learning the hard way,learning how to make ends meet. Has a hard time holding a job, attitude keeps getting the better of her.
My grandparents all came over on the boats from england, and started out with virtually nothing.

I disagree with AJ, the electricity thing.
Its the easy access to worthless information thats making the minds of our children weak.
