I big part of the problem is technology,,,,All they want to do is play vidoe games, talk on thier phones, and piddle around on the internet. There are a whole lot of "empowering" parents that allow this lazy behavior, because they want to reverse the trend of thier own strict upbringing by allowing their own children to --"just be kids"--, no chores, no resposnabilities, no gumption to make thier lives better.

My preacher BIL did this with his kids, and one turned out a felon who smokes weed all the time, another had no idea how to wash or fold laundry, cook anything but mac-n-cheese, or clean the house for lack of ever doing it. These soft handed, pansies would never have survived in my household. There is firewood to cut, stack, burn, we have horse stalls that need cleaned, fences that need mended, and a house that needs DIY updating.

The factory I have worked for 17 years now hires a new group of potential employees every week, and it's entertaining to all to watch the tour group meander through the plant, with looks of horror on some of the faces of obvious soft handed pansies. Almost every week there is 1 or 2 who don't even show up for the first day of WORK, and more that only last a few months for bad attendance. REALLY ? suck it up, buttercup !
