[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 677885, member: 1550"] I think (and am in the minority) that all generations look back and think we were more productive, respectful, you name it. There were dysfunctional families since families existed but nobody talked about it and if you, as a kid, dared to get out of line, you could be whupped with a very hard belt and nobody cared.But there were still adult kids who were out of control, drank too much, took drugs, stole, swore at their parents etc., but it was not spoken of. Our kids can not feel entitled if we don't give them reason. Not all kids get everything and if they don't, they don't expect it and are not entitled. A lot of folks on this board are upper middle class or have the means in some way to give our children too much and we love them so often we do it. THAT is what makes them entitled. WE DO! [/QUOTE]
