My observation is that after a woman gives birth, the only obligation mom and dad feel now is to provide food and shelter for the child and nothing more. A big part of parenting is teaching a child right from wrong and some common sense which isn't getting through to kids these days. These kids aren't being told what a detrimental affect having a child would be for them if they can't afford it and can't parent it. Since overpopulation is ruining the earth with women having children they can't afford, who is suppose to educate the upcoming generation by telling them not to have children they can't afford? The message is NOT getting heard. It seems like ultra common sense to me but obviously, nobody's listening. If you are a parent, have you drilled this into you child's head yet? If not, how come??

You're correct kraft. I see it on a daily basis, and I'm in a rural, very conservative area. Lots of parents don't think that having a child should in any way impact their carefree party hardy lifestyle. The result is unmotivated, uninterested lazy, easily bored kids. The upside is this, and I no longer make any bones about telling it to the increasingly small segment of my students who are self motivated and personally interested in doing well. I tell them that now, more than ever, if you keep on the path you've chosen, keep doing well because it's the right thing to do, keep asking questions and THINKING...you've got it made. Your success is virtually guaranteed....Look around you, you are surrounded by bored peers who are only interested in getting by, in doing the very LEAST they can do in any given circumstance so they can get back to their mindless external entertainment. THEY will be working for YOU. THEY will be flipping your Whoppers.
