Kids today get things for free, Not like the old days, no money you see. It's ok to give to your kids when they are good. Id give you more if I possibly could! Hey their Santa Jack.

You climbed and you clawed... Hard workers were awed....you made your name....to reach your Fame....a recipe I say, doesn't seem flawed

They may have it made Jack but many sure don't appreciate the sacrifices their parent's make to give them these things - we have had to make our own way in life and appreciate what we have - my son knows the real value of money and the fact ALL my wages go to pay his accommodation fees for 3 years.

Kids have got it made... But they've got stress in spades...College costs are extremely high to get paid... and drugs are found at every grade... Things are different from the years, when we played... My son saw 3 of his friends die from drug over doses... The peer pressure to use them is high... The parents are both working to survive... It's so sad today... They need a parent at home... But there's a 50% divorce rate... so there it goes...
