[QUOTE="Fran, post: 339784, member: 3"] Nancy, I know what you mean. I was a nurse. There is no such thing as a snow day. I had quite a few white knuckle rides as I went in to work at 11PM. Leaving a stuck car, and walking to work then shoveling it out after you completed the day. I wonder myself about our kids working through obstacles. Does everything have to be easy in order for them to complete their work? Now that easy child is out there, I know he is a worker bee. He loves going to work so who knows. I don't see him shoveling snow or painting his own house like my dad did but husband doesn't do it either even though he works tons of hours. I never counted on or expected my parents to help in any way. I didn't want to raise the boys to feel they couldn't ask for help. It's easy to see how it could become a problem for kids not to be self sufficient. I guess every generation has to think the younger generation is less work driven than themselves. I worry the same thing but it's their problem now that they are older. [/QUOTE]
