Whatever a Child is, the Parents are Always Responsible

Truly speaking, bringing up kids today is not one of the hardest jobs, but the hardest job in the universe.

Why is it so? We the parents created this situation. It had to start from a generation gone. Because we live in a country with all the technology doesn't mean that our children should as well. Believe it or not, little things like doing research through the library instead of the search engine, print and WHA-LA, homework is done, what ever happened to using the brains instead of a click of the mouse for the answer? That's just the tip of the iceberg. With all this happening, don't you think we can actually correct it? Of Course, Don't forget, " ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE."

In most cases, a plant can be trained in whatever form you'd like it to be as long as you start with it being a baby. Can it be trained when it becomes a tree? In most cases, 'NO'. Just like we are doing today, we all feel that it's ok to leave our young children behind with a babysitter while we run off to work, will make time for them later as they get older. SURPRISE! The tree cannot be bent anymore. "You know, away for MOST of the day, with commuting and working, we are gone from day break to night fall. If we are lucky we are able to feed them before they go to bed. "AHHH, My work is done for the day".

The old cliche goes "can't do it with one income", what ever happen to living within that income?

I've always heard " I want them to enjoy what I did not have". To an extent, I truly agree. Moderation might be the key word here. What we are failing to understand is that we are giving them way too much, to a point where it is not being appreciated any more. Do we actually thing we are helping them? How about making their future a disaster? They're having it easy so they expect it easy.

Becoming an adult, getting married, they still expect it easy. If it doesn't happen it becomes the first ground for divorce. Being divorced with children is a whole other dilemma. Ever ask ourselves why there is so many abused children of all different kinds? I am not saying to stay in a marriage that just can't work, but there are plenty that choose the easy way out. You know, just like they were brought up, choose not to try and work things out. I personally think that 50% of all divorce cases today could have been successful marriages, of course that is just my opinion.

Now do we see where the roots of all our problems are being created? Always remember "what ever a child turns out to be, the parents are ALWAYS responsible". Whether good or bad, now that we created this, don't you think we should we try to fix it?
