[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I will never understand why people want their kids to have to work so hard.[/b] They are still kids!  They have the rest of their life to work their fingers to the bone trying to be successful. It isn't like they need to learn this lesson now or they will fail at life. I promise. [/quote]

First of all, instilling a strong work ethic when young is a lot more successful than trying to instill it after 20 years of not being held to giving best effort and working to meet challenges.

Second of all, it isn't about making them work so hard. It's about them LEARNING and being prepared for hard work later for the rest of their life's success.

I will never understand why so many people want their kids to do absolutely nothing difficult, not experience any bad feelings, never fail even in the smallest things to the smallest degree, never be expected to do anything they find unpleasant or hard, and then expect them to suddenly be fully responsible adults who appreciate ethe value of working or doing the necessary stuff that isn't exciting and fun in order to do what they really want to do.[/quote]
