all of them aren't that way. I see hard working high schoolers every day in my area. My grandson (17) got a free ride scholarship to college, North Ga . It's a military school.

Easy. Parents for several generations have sacrificed their children to obtain comfort, pleasure and easier living. It’s a parents duty and responsibility to raise, nurture, instruct, develop, educate and prepare their kids for adult living and proper decision making. Instead, families have adopted day care, public school indoctrination, video games, cell phones, tv, and entertainers to fill that role while they chase the almighty dollar for more stuff. It’s the name of the game. Gotta work so we can live more comfortably. Society is suffering some major ills due to this mentality. It’s not impossible for both parents to have full time jobs, and raise kids, but it’s certainly challenging and something most can not do effectively. I know this will offend some folks, but if you wanna know what’s wrong that’s it. We put both parents into the work force as common practice, rather than raising families.

Preach it , Brother Brock.

Most of the young people I'm around are way better than we were growing up. I blame leaded gasoline.

There it is. This sentence is the answer to many questions as to why are things the way they are.

Yup. It's tough on families these days. Especially these last few years when everything has doubled in price and wages have stayed the same.

My nephew got a trip to the principals office for yelling out Lets Go Brandon on the school bus. Atta boy.

It's the mental disorder that Rush often spoke of

Kids are taught right from wrong. I've seen the best raised kids make DUMB decisions. It's not the fault of the parent, It's society as a whole and what's thrown at them away from the parent a lot of the time.

Some liberal guy on our street tried to tell my son he was cussing for saying that.........

100% truth Matt. My wife was also a business professional, and quickly climbing the corporate ladder, when we decided to have children after being married for 6 yrs. When we did, we also decided at that time, that she would be a stay at home mom and raise our children while I worked. Huge financial sacrifice because she too was making almost six figures back in the late 90s. Granted I've done well so while we certainly were not poor or struggling, it was still a big sacrifice to knowingly and intentionally lose her income, but we decided that some things, namely raising our children right and in a stable Christian home, and the non-monetary rewards that come from it, were worth way more than money. Twenty years later, once they all got through high school and into college, the wife has gone back to work. As a result of our family decisions, we'll both work, for probably another 7-10 years, whereas had we both been working the entire time, we'd easily be in a position to very comfortably retire and just enjoy life, right now, rather than having to wait until we are in our early 60s. Like I said above, it is about priorities and where you place them. If you're going to let someone else babysit, raise, train, educate, develop, discipline, and indoctrinate your children with, and according to their thoughts and beliefs, just so that you can drive a new truck, go on expensive vacations, have an $80k bass boat and $20k SXS, just to keep up with the FB showoffs and neighbors down the street financially, you might need to re-evaluate your priorities. Raising children with a strong Christian foundation and a strong work ethic, into hard working, highly functioning, successful adults, is one of the greatest privileges and gifts that the Lord grants us. There are exceptions to the rule and sometimes both parents have to work to put food on the table, but in general, society and the devil has and continues to push to destroy the traditional nuclear family life, as the Lord designed and intended it to be.

Our students here at the rural community college are NOT rioting or protesting in the least -- although some of them have an opinion one way or the other about world events. They are in class doing their work. I'm proud of most of them. --VT

surprised antifa hasnt showed up to quell the anti semantic uprising.

/sarc/

They are sitting on the bench resting up for Sept and Oct. Way too early in this election cycle to break out the real players.

I agree with this 110%…my wife raises our little boy, and we plan on homeschooling also..will probly rely heavily on you advice later on matt. It aint easy…but we are doin better than ever and feel very blessed. Its hard work..but it is worth it..an we gettin some nicer stuff now too..just took a little longer…but its gettin easier all the time🤠

100%. And a bunch of little johnnies did not get that butt tore up enough.

They're there , it's the same players , different team.

I know a dude with the $80,000 truck and $20,000 sxs and his kids are spoiled brats and don't respect him. He always asks me how I got my kids to behave and I told him they understand I love them but we have rules and they are for our own good.

All by design implemented with the women’s movement

The leftist wanted women out of the home so the Marxist could raise the children.

The two parents working to be able to afford a middle class life is in the mix too. Parents too busy to watch and keep an eye on the kids. We now have phones that baby sit and groom them accordingly

I’d bet most are well paid community organizers. I’d never heard of such outside of college but I’ve seen many that claim that job title even here in the shoals. Most of those arrested at these protest are from other states
