[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 619446, member: 1550"] I didn't get to read everything because I'm in a rush and am not sure who started this thread and when it started...lol...but I give kudos to all of you. when we give birth, we do not sign a contract that says we have to house our kids and support them until our last breath...they are to learn from us, school and life and make good choices and move out. criminal behavior is inexcusable, especially against us, those who sacrificed for them since their births. They then in my opinion lose the privilege of living in our homes and gain the privilege of learning how to survive in a world that demands they follow rules and support themselves. Our job is not to be their parents in a caretaking way forever. We give them "roots to grow and wings to fly." a common thread I notice, almost all of our kids are incredibly entitled a nd I think many of us have had the means to spoil our kids so that we did all we could to make them happy, give them the extra activities and lessons, and not teach them about hard work. We didn't WANT youth to be hard on them and we wanted t hem to have more opportunity than we had with less work to get there> thus we have very entitled kids and some of them think we should put up with anything> I wonder if parents who give less to their children have this kind of entitlement. In our case, we do not even have money, but every dime we had was tossed to the kids so that, although they never did get a new car, they pretty much had what other kids had...kids whose parents made much more money than we did. I think we made mistakes, but everyone makes mistakes. Our entitled kids need to learn that: 1/We are NOT the Bank of America 2/ We do not need to support t hem in adulthood 3/We are human beings who deserve to be treated well or else we may choose to send them packing. 4/Breaking the law and drug abuse assures you only of one thing: A horrible life. 5/Nobody can fix them but them and anything we may have done in the past is not the reason why they are losing. The reason is because they choose to self-destruct and nobody can fix them but them. This morning I send out heartfelt hugs and lots of love and caring to everyone with a dad or mother hurting heart. I have soooooooo been there. I think you are all very brave. Now...time to take care of some very important people...YOURSELVES!!!!! :) [/QUOTE]
