Message: [QUOTE="Atlcuse44, post: 3035096, member: 5382"] Times change. When I was a kid/teen (70s/80s) my parents worked my butt off. I did some sports but my Dad always had me outside mowing, digging, painting, shoveling, etc... Nowadays, it feels like we are all in a competition for our children to succeed (sports camps. traveling teams, music, academics, etc...) so much more so than when I was younger. It [U]seems[/U] kids nowadays are given a pass on 'chores' so that they can focus on sports or whatever activity they do. Just my opinion, but that is detrimental to their overall work ethic. [/QUOTE]
