So me being a parent of four i know how to keep thing average for me and my kids, but with the crisis down fall i had to take a slip down the road, no job, homeschooling. my kids feels like this is just another vacation but fail to realize the impact it is about to have on there future. i have been seening more parents complaining then really sitting down and figuring out how to get back in the economy. i have been hearing more i don't then i do's or i can's. and i do't understand why we cant stand for our self #WE ARE THE PEOPLE that's how this world was started if younger youth can understand what our parents and grands fought for the world would be a much better place. me being a parents i really want to know what is the world doing to better this for ourselves and our childern?

"The world" doesn't care about "ourselves and our kids". One of the biggest things my parents used to toss at me when i was growing up was that "the world" didn't owe me anything and that i had to do things for myself or I get nothing. "The world", the government, society, the people across the street? These people have their own problems. You can't seriously expect them to think that your problems are more important than theirs. Life is what you make it, but it's your life, not theirs.
You mean to tell me your parents didn't make sure you understood that its only you out here when it is your time! thats sound about what your saying and what i am trying to let others understand this our time to teach our kids that now in this crisis really think are you able to survive if he don't give you this check or do they still need there help.? .life is what you make it so why not teach our kids greater
wtf did I just read?
@Dal same, parents raised me to help but not expect it from others. I am only owed what I earn.
@Imma What are you wanting? Someone to come teach your children about the world? I am confused by the blog. "i do't understand why we cant stand for our self" and "i really want to know what is the world doing to better this for ourselves and our childern?" You want us to stand alone, take care of ourselves yet want the world to take care of you?
@Op You didn't read what i typed, so let me c/p it. " One of the biggest things my parents used to toss at me when i was growing up was that "the world" didn't owe me anything and that i had to do things for myself or I get nothing." DO THINGS FOR MYSELF. I, and this is going to shock you, do not care about your kids. As a part of "the world", they're not my kids, they're yours, and they're your responsibility, not mine. It doesn't take "a village" to raise a kid. It takes a parent.
If you want help, that's understandable. Help is out there but don't act like you're entitled to it, and guilt-trip people who aren't responsible for it when it isn't coming fast enough. And teaching kids to be "greater" is also a parental responsibility. It's weird how everything keeps coming back to the parents and parental responsibility. Seriously, I thank God every day when I think about it, that I'm not a parent. Guilting weak-minded people would be all too easy.
Can't blame your parents for anything beyond the age of seventeen, after that our life is one hundred percent our own responsibility. Choices have consequences.
Thank you cause i believe if i could do it they can to so i want to keep giving what my parents gave me the value and understanding in life, some people in this world feel like they can just survive off the gov. and i'm not one and dont feel my kids should be okay being like that. and yes beyond seventeen that's our time! but hopefully they have took in enough so they can go out in this world and be somebody. I GUESS I'M JUST THAT PARENT THAT GOING TO MAKE SURE THEY UNDERSTAND WAT LIFE IS ABOUT.
@Abaye SORRY YOU TOOK THAT WRONG. I am going to keep making it clear to my kids that it is not just the gov. job to do anything for you! you have to work to survive, save to get want you want in life, and take life serious cause you can feel like you have everything but no back up plan can leave you hurt! i see people around me asking me why how i do or handle certain things and i always say it what a parents taught me in life.
