[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The next generation of parents are extremely self-centered and all about their own “wellness” and “family time” — hoping they figure this out fast because they are harming their communities, which they also somehow miss.[/quote] This was the observation of our grade school principal, made to me when my youngest kid's class was graduating. Their demands and expectations increased, while participation decreased, as if they didn't realize it was parents doing all the work they were demanding. It's simple: you don't have a garden program anymore because you didn't volunteer to maintain the garden. There won't be a fall festival/picnic/whatever because one parent can't pull it off all on their own. When you see a Sign Up Genius with mostly blank space, expect that event to be canceled next year. Your cash donation does not make up for the absence of helping hands and boots on the ground.[/quote]
