your kids; the next generation

[jick.cejoco]

with today's change of times, are your kids ready for the responsibility of carrying on with life? do your kids know the basic skills you have like cooking , cleaning the house, maintaining your house, working for a living, paying the taxes,paying the utility bills, cleaning the yard, defending the country ? if the kids we have now can answer one of these no, we should be worried. our kids are up to a rude awakening. if you are proud your kid is a spoiled brat, you should not have been a parent afterall, if you get offended by this, you should also be blamed for the bad state of the nation. no offense, you need to take ownership and responsibility of our country's affairs.

do your kids know the basic skills you have like cooking , cleaning the house, maintaining your house,

kid: "that's what the maid is for"

working for a living,

kid: "ya i can make money... NBA betting, online poker, join MLM, sell stuff on ebay..."

paying the taxes,

kid: "what taxes?"

paying the utility bills,

kid: "dunno... my dad takes care of that"

cleaning the yard,

kid: "the maid"

defending the country ?

kid: "they got soldiers for that"

that's exactly the point. our kids feel entitled. even the kings were born naked. everybody has one life. if you have life. what if everybody are like your kids who don't give a ****. then who are you to blame the state of our country? everybody who call himself a citizen should take ownership and responsibility of our country like we take ownership and responsibility of our own houses. each soldier is just like any joe, like you and me. they have their own life and family too. we should support our military who chose not to have a choice but to follow commands and orders. to them, i salute them, i support them, i admire them, not the spoiled brat on the block who does not claim responsibility at all even for their mistakes

masyado ng iba ang mga bata ngayon compared noon, hard to accept, but in the end this is the reality, naging ganyan sila dahil din sa magulang nila. IMO

privileged kids aren't brought up to do housework or become soldiers

they're trained to order people around

in any society... there will always be a ruling class

kanta ko para sa mga gunggong na kabataan ngayon.
sweet!

Lemonheads- The Outdoor Type

Always had a roof above me
Always paid the rent
But I've never set foot inside a tent
Can't build a fire to save my life
I lied about being the outdoor type

I've never slept out underneath the stars,
The closest that I came to that was one time my car
Broke down for an hour in the suburbs at night
I lied about being the outdoor type.

Too scared to let you know you knew what you were looking for
I lied until I fit the bill God bless the great indoors
I lied about being the outdoor type
I've never owned a sleeping bag let alone a mountain bike

I can't go away with you on a rock climbing weekend
What if somethings on tv and it's never shown again
Its just as well I'm not invited I'm afraid of heights
I lied about being the outdoor type

Never learned to swim can't grow a beard or even fight
I lied about being the outdoor type

too bad the kids nowadays feel"entitled" they forgot they too were born naked".
that's why rockefeller told his table waiter after the waiter complained " you son give me a hundred dollar tip and you gave me a dollar"
rockefeller said to the same waiter "he's lucky, his dad is rich, mine wasn't"

Nagsikap ako para hindi maranasan ng anak ko ung mga hirap na dinaanan ko noong bata pa ako. Masama ba akong magulang kung maginhawa ang buhay ng anak ko?

that's your prerogative sir, by all means. but consider the what if. what if they lost everything? what if the skills they have are no longer needed? what if they lost the job they thought they will have until retirement and to find out one wicked morning they have been fired or the company went belly up? murhphy's law has it. you need them to be equipped with something that can not be stolen nor taken away from them like skills, education, experience, etc. etc. what if?
or are you the parent who thinks or have told your kids you will live forever and never get old. think my friend.

You think too much.

I have a lot of friends who were born wealthy. Personal drivers to shuttle them wherever they want to go. A team of maids.

But they grew up to be very successful in fields different from their parents'. Some might not be as successful as their parents, but still successful nevertheless.

Yes, I also have friends who weren't as lucky. That's life.
