The Entitlement Mentality; can the younger generations of poor help themselves?

[FriendlyCanadian]

some people feel like because they have a job they are doing the company a favour by being employed.. not because they are getting paid..

odd world we live in.. I've had a couple of those over the past years..

dumbasses.

I posted up about something similar to this a couple of weeks ago. Like I said I taught high school social studies for years. Parents are the main culprits to why kids are screwed up and the lawmakers.

There are four types of parents. Authoritarians that micromanage their kids lives and never give them any room to breath and the kids rebel and act like assholes. Second, you have Permissive parents that care about their kids but let the kid manipulate them and press them until they permit the child to do what they want.. low expectations of self-control, no discipline.This type seems to be the most prevalent one.

Then you have Uninvolved parents, that don't give a shit about their kids at all, this is the second most type of parenting that i have encountered. Then you have Authoritative, I'm 40, you are probably somewhat of a cohort of mine, these are probably the type of parents we had. They care about their kids and give them some room to breath, but if they get out of line they tax that ass, very obsolete these days to see this type of parenting, but I'm sure there is some...

That's my opinion to why the youth of today's world is the way it is.

My older brother teaches at a private school outside of DC. I remember him telling me a story...the first time he was about to give a student a "B" one of his peers approached him and asked-

"Do you really wanna do that?"

"Why?" my brother asked.

"Anything less than an A- and the parents are going to raise hell."


Fucking parents, dude.

I was always home and playing D&D or World in Flames when I was teen. My job was to do what was expected of me...splitting wood, working the farm.. I did this as a matter of duty...WTF is wrong with you people?

Do you have any idea what would happen to me if I played D&D? Your parents were CAKE.

It gets really frustrating when the parents aren't together and aren't 100% on the same page. My ex does discipline my daughter, but she also lets her do what she wants more than I do. She thinks discipline is just something you do when my daughter does something wrong instead of learned behaviors that help you throughout life. I'll try to color, do puzzles, have creative times with the kiddo and all she wants is to watch a movie and says she watches them with mom. The only time I let nher do that anymore is when I'm trying to study. Shit gets maddening.
