[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 711762, member: 1550"] Jabs, I understand where you are coming from. You daily see the worst of the worst in people or they would not be in prison. I dont see just felons and most of my adult kids are very kind, giving, hard working people who have like friends (law of attraction). I see people mostly at my job, the clubhouse for people with mental illness ( almost all working, only one at home with parents, some in group homes though) and in volunteer life. I dont see a bunch of excess entitlement in the young. When I do, I feel its becsuse the parents dont let go. Nobody makes Mom do laundry for son, age 20. To me, thats on Mom Nobody makes Junior, age 25 or 45, force Mom to pay for his cell phone. No gun to head. They get entitled beyond the normal ages only if the parents keep treating them as if they feel responsible for the laundry and the phone. If your 22 year old asks you to do laundry or support his phone....no is a complete sentence. Many boomers remember Spock and never let their kids do without anything or fend for themselves. Philosophically, I put the blame on the shoulders of those who keep doing for adult kids who are questionable on th adult part. They send two messages "I will" and "you cant do it." I also think most people are good, but one bad apple often sticks out like a sore thumb. And he makes the headlines. The good ones dont make noise. I respect you and your opinion very much. I would probably share your view if I worked in a prison! [/QUOTE]
