Food for thought

I just do not understand people now days. Why does almost everyone you meet now think that they are owed something either by society or by their families? What has happened to learning moral values and teaching our kids about respect and a hard days work. Things were not just given to me, I have had to work hard for what I have, it may not be much right now, but it is everything important the my husband and I need. I guess some people have the time to procreate but do not have the actual tiime to parent, too busy trying to keep up with everyone else in the game. what does that get you? Respect? maybe in the work place but when you get home from work, and you look at your family, what are they doing? do you have a quality family life? do you sit down every night with your family at a certain time to have dinner? Do you have family night or go on family vacations and actually spend the time together as a family? this is what is wrong people, this is why our kids are violent, hateful, disrespectful, no QUALITY OF FAMILY LIFE! Yes, I prepared and ate dinner with my kids every night that I did not work, on weekends we spent time together, we did not have alot of money to go do things, I was a single parent most of the time, but I made time for my family and I taught my kids respect, they say no ma'am, yes ma'am, no sir, yes sir, please and thank you. They respect anothers privacy, they make time for their families and are all hard working young men and women. We went camping, to the park, fishing, the zoo. These things did not cost us much, but we sure enjoyed it and it has made some remarkable characters out of my children and they are doing these things with theirs as well. So, please for your sake and your family's, take time to stop and smell those roses as they used to say, life is short, enjoy  your kids and families while you can, you will be surprised in the difference that this time you spend with your kids will make in how they grow to be Adults. Just food for thought......
