This generation of kids too entitled

[KingTut]

To an extent. Best believe summertime my son cut our yard. Wash our cars, make sure he take care of the trash. Man you can’t just spoil a child just because. You setting them up to fail.

I mean of course. You want to teach them the value of hard work while simultaneously teaching them how to do important everyday things like cooking, dishes, laundry, yard work etc.

You just left out too much info and are making it seem like kids with nice things are just demanding them from the parents and they're giving it. Maybe your nephew is a good kid and great listener. Maybe he has excellent grades and never has to be told more than once to do certain chores.

That's what you're supposed to do

nah...only thing you're "supposed to" do is provide food, clothes, shelter and love/advice.

Kids are cheap af if you don't get sucked in to the okie doke. Grown up not having shyt, you learn to separate the needs from the wants.

Tell me about it. My seven years old has an IPhone, a 50 inch tv in his room, PS5, Asus gaming laptop, and he gets a lot of Jordan’s and Dunks. He’s spoiled as fukk but he’s a good kid. He tested in the top 10% in the state, he recently won a spelling b, and he’s very responsible for his age. His mom does a good job of keeping him grounded but he stays asking me for shyt and I can’t say no because I would be telling him no, for no reason.

My nephew turns 7 in January and he doesn’t have a damn one of these things. He likes dinosaurs and playing sports outside lol he gets hype when his mom lets him watch a show on Netflix.

Whatever works best for your kid works best, I’m just legitimately surprised cause I just seen this lil guy yesterday and he was happy as a clam that he got baseball cards for Christmas

A lot of people confuse "give them a better life" with "give them an easier life".

the next few decades are going to be rough for people under 30.

No what I’ve noticed is these kids parents busting there butts working to give their kids more only for the kids to feel entitled ungrateful unappreciative and disrespectful. Just think about this when we was growing up you couldn’t even listen to an adult conversation. When adults used to talk they would make us go outside. Now these kids blast they parents openly on social media for the world to see.

Generation X should've created a Cram School Culture

If you control the environment, you can control them. You not supposed to just let the world/streets educate them, YOU are supposed to brainwash them. Especially in their formative years where they absorb the most info. Yall been trying the "let the streets teach them" shyt since the crack era and it's not working. It's not just about making them work, it's about them using their brains and challenging them too. The fukk you just having kids for and you're not transferring information to their brain?

It's because men of all races are taught that Father = Provider....Mother = Nurturer

The mother's role is all encompassing while the dad is just an ATM. This leads to men thinking that in order to be good dad's, all they gotta do is provide material comfort.

Man will say "I put a roof over your head, clothes on your back and food on the table....be grateful." Problem with that line of thinking is that's what you're SUPPOSED to do. The child didn't ask to be born. Dude's really think they accomplished something because they spent money. The shyt you do ON TOP OF handling the basics is how you're judged.

In Nick's case, maybe he would be a terrible day to day father. Dude works 24/7 so it's not like he'd be the most attentive pops anyway.

Having a single mother, and watching her do everything doesn’t help either. Those men watched their mothers do everything by herself, and think they turned out fine, so they don’t see the need for a strong, positive male figure in the house.

What a stupid ass thread there have been spoiled kids throughout multiple generations.

shytty parenting in every generation

And here we go.

Straight from the horse's mouth. We have a generation of parents afraid of saying no to their children, it's no wonder they're so entitled.

It’s not that but I just feel weird for saying no for no real reason. If he asks me for a new game or a t shirt with his favorite Fort Nite character on it while we’re in Target, why would I say no when it’s not like I can’t afford it? Then I’m saying no just to say no and that’s not cool in my opinion. Our black kids need to experience nothing but joy and the best out of life. My kids have an abundance mindset and they should be entitled to the best.
