[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 367901, member: 3907"] I think I'm also too old. I see this with difficult child's and Little PCs peers, and even to an extent with Step-D and her crowd. I fear for this generation when they hit the real world. You know that old folk tale about the cows that were set in a field with electric fencing, and then one day the fence was replaced with string? Since the cows were already used to getting shocked by the fence, they never tried to roam again. Well, the society that has coddled and done everything for this generation has taught them to be helpless. And worse, despair is the flip-side of entitlement. If everything you want is given to you, what's the point of working hard or trying? Sad. Very sad. [/QUOTE]
