Money and kids
You know, I just don't understand why it seems like so many selfish people have so much money. I work hard, have two jobs, pay my bills, and still my kids only want to go to other homes where its "fun" because they have a basement or playroom and their parents run them all over creation spending money to "entertain" them. OK first, this is why we have a nation full of spoiled brats! When I was bored as a kid, I went outside... that's the place on the other side of your windows kids...(windows are those things that let in light to your room, not the TV) then I would find something to do. Play in the dirt, explore, draw in the sand, climb a tree, or whatever. Then if I was fortunate enough to have another kid within walking distance, we would find stuff to do together. Talking, running, you know ....playing stuff. We didn't text or Facebook, we actually saw each other in person! My kids have endless movies, computers, video games, board games, books, pets, and satellite TV. I am part of the problem, I spend all my money giving them all these things to keep them from getting "bored" and they still are bored and want to be somewhere else. I would LOVE to be home, watching or playing something, eating whatever I want, instead of working night and day! If I actually said I was bored as a kid, my mom or grandparents would give me work to do. Sweeping, mopping, yard work, farming, or something constructive. I just get so frustrated that I do all of this, and still feel like I am not providing my kids with enough "things" to keep them happy. Maybe I should be like other people I know and turn selfish. Take all the stuff away from them, boot out the two adult-children that sleep at my house and take up two rooms with no contribution, and make me a fun room where my wife and I go to to avoid "being bored". Hey, don't I deserve to have fun? I guess not. Sometimes...kids suck.
