[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 711770, member: 16024"] I think the problem with these types of commercials is that the behavior gets normalized. The other day my hubby was telling his younger son, who now lives with us while going to college and working part-time, that he needed to get more hours at work in the summer, find a second job, or take classes. He is resistant. Non-committal, except that he said that most people in college just keep their part-time jobs, or don't work at all in the summer. He thinks it is unusual for a 21-year-old to not have summers off to sleep late and do fun stuff. He seems to think that he should be able to slack off during the summer and then have dad pay for whatever money shortfall comes along in the fall. There has been no job hunting that I can see, and the term is almost over. I'm not saying he got this attitude from commercials, but i am saying that many of the things role-modeled on TV are not healthy behaviors for impressionable youth. [/QUOTE]
