[quote=Anonymous]A parents job is to prepare their children to be able to survive without them. I don't understand this generation of competition trophies, excuses, and hand outs. How does that possibly prepare these kids for real life? Their job isn't going to care if they had a bad day. Their significant others, hopefully won't tolerate them taking their feelings out on them because they are stressed out. Their bills aren't going to care if their workload is too much.

Life is NOT easy. It's hard. It's amazing and beautiful and fun. But it is also HARD. And kids need to understand this. They need to understand that anything worth having you have to work hard for. Entitlement is a killer for children.

OP - STOP IT NOW. Teach these kids how to work hard for the things that they want. If they want it bad enough, they will find a way to have it. Much like many adults who are successful. Teach them how to thrive on adversity, how to find solutions, how to be respectful and gracious for the things that they have and for the people who have helped them. You're not doing anyone any favors allowing them to behave this way.[/quote]
