younger generation has it too easy today? If so, what do you think is to blame?

yes, you

Yes, I do! I think that parents want to make sure that they provide a better life for their children than they had. So over the generations we have given our children more and more while expecting less and less. For all good intentions, we have created a generation that has no sense of responsibility.

I'm not blaming the parents individually, I think society as a whole is to blame.

I think grandparents spoil our children.......and ruin them!!! Yes!!! I blame the grandparents!!

nope i think the younger generation has toooo much technology.....

but this leads to complications.

i blame i blame CELL PHONES!!!

we all can only blame all ourselves, for it's the cumulative numbers that eventually made it all happen.

<---blames herself the most!!

Gypsy.................you'll never change!!!....lol how's longhaired?

Why...you forget how to use cell phones already?

It's not easier, IMO. It's just different.

Every generation is relative.

What's up Peccy? How are ya' honey?

Yes they do
us

i swear this stuff can cause sensory overload.
look at all the online addicts,

who knows the next generation might be supergeniouses.....hard telling

wait...HOLD up.

what is the younger generation.

cuz im thinking of like jr high/highschool kids.

but heck, im quite young compared to u peccy.

clarify the generation that u speak of

I blame it on our greed as a society and our consumer based society. Everybody wants more more more all the time. That leads to both parents working lots of hours and not being there
for the kids.So the parents feel guilty because they weren't there enough and compensate by giving the kid every desired material possession.Kids should not have the internet in thier bedroom and my kids didn't. My kids had to sit in the living room with their laptops and use the internet so that the time spent on their was limited as it should be.Anyway that's how I see it.

Actually, I don't think the generation of today has it easy - I think they have the most difficult job ahead of them as of any generation. Why, you might ask?

It has nothing to do with technology, gadgets, money, perks, etc. - all of those superficial things just move them through life a lot faster than previous generations, not easier. The reason this generation has it more difficult than previous generations is that they're trying to negotiate through life without any of the guidelines, morals, values and mentorship of quality people in their lives. I would say this severely handicaps them for what lies ahead in their reality.

IMHO

my daughter is 12,

one of her little friends was over at our house.

this little girl told me her dad could never get remarried and have any more children. because if he did...she would not be the only child and she would not get spoiled.

and she didnt like her mom...and staying at her moms house becasue there was other kids there and she was not the only kid getting attention.

He still has long hair!!

This is good ... I change my answer to this.
