Daily thoughts
The simple life escapes me. Who ever came up with that quote had a screw loose. For me the simple life would be simply my kids picking up after themselves, doing their homework accurately, and eating meals at the right times. That never happens, and I look forward to their being on their own because then and only then will they see first hand what it takes to run a household. Right now, I feel like the household runs the parents.
We are ruining our kids. They will grow up without a clue on how to manage home life. They will think dinner means "going out", instead of it meaning family time, and sitting down until everyone is finished. They will grow up thinking parents are supposed to buy their kids cars, and provide computers and internet access whenever they want it. Horse shit! Why have we allowed this? Why have we let our children rule and reign? Are we afraid of their rejection of us if we say "no" to them?
