Usually for good reason. I have never in my lifetime endured the trials and hardships my grandparents endured. They were right in trying to toughen me up. The problem in this country is all the people who want to ride down the hill in the wagon our grandparents pushed up the hill. My parents and grandparents gave me perspective that todays society of everyone gets a trophy doesn’t offer. I have tried to pass some of that on to my kids by teaching them that they are not entitled to what other people earn. Now I have productive, responsible, taxpaying, accountable for their own choices adult kids.
