Generation X

I’ll tell you the main reason both work, and it will piss many off. It’s easier to have someone else raise your kids than do it yourself. That should get some conversation going.

I have been blessed in my career path, that when the kids were young, I could work from home, and adjust my hours.
But they of course spent time in daycare, as parts of working life was not kid friendly. Maybe 18 hours a week or so for the most part was their time in care of others.

But agree, I am not a kid fella, even my own 4....haha

I grew up a poor multiracial child in Mississippi in the 60s. Our mother tied pork chop bones to our belts so dogs would play with us. It wasn’t the greatest, but we didn’t die, so there’s that.

Who is raising these disrespectful kids?

I'll take partial responsibility for it, because I let her go to the wrong college for the wrong thing, the rest goes to the college. My oldest daughter was a sweetheart. We hunted and fished, she had a job in high school, good student, a great hard working kid. Off she goes to college in MN for education, then counseling and social work. Now she is a turd. I cannot stand to be in the same room very long. Noticed it happening and cut it off at the pass with the younger daughter. She was and is still a great kid at 30.

My sister raised a liberal socialist idiot. He is still in the process of finishing he PHD in some type of Engineering, and boy can I not be around the arrogant little bastard. He is the smartest guy in the room education wise, and of course that makes the rest of us dumb country bumpkins.

Fake i call fake because we have all seen guywiththeknappy and over the calf tube socks and my personal favorite standing next to the living arrangements that many have adorned growing up in.
