Whats wrong with people coughkidscough these days?

I think that younger kids, like ten and younger are JUST PATHETIC. They want everything done for them, they dont do anything but sit on thier lazy butts and eat chips or something and watch TV. What happened to playing outside, and imagination. I remember when I was a kid, I was inside to eat and sleep. I used to actually play with other kids, toys and other things, but kids these days dont do anything. They whine and complain and need a TV or someone to entertain them constantly. I know, I live at a daycare.
They also get away with things I would have never been able to. Some three year old told me to shut up once. If that was me, I would have gotten killed. They have bad manners, they don’t listen, and honestly, they don’t give a rats *** anymore about punishments. Everything is handed to these kids on a silver plate and they dont do anything. I know a two year old that can barely talk-its all gibberish. I know other two year olds that could hold easy conversations and were fairly understandable.
Not to mention kids are getting dumber and losing common sense. Wait, everyone is losing common sense. (ok, not everyone, but alot of people.) I see it all the time where I work. Little things people dont understand. But, I’m not going into this, or it would be an even longer post.
I’m not saying this to diss any parents or people, its just something that I’ve noticed as time goes on. I live and work in enviorments where its extremely noticable. Just had to get that off my chest.

Hey - kids are products of their environment. When your 10 and younger, you can barely even think for yourself.

Generation Z was born into a world with computers, convenience and choice. What do you expect? Their digital babies.

I wouldn’t say all kids are pathetic. I will admit that I have seen a fair share of kids who are lazy and impolite. But I have seen many kids who work hard and are extremely polite. You can’t really refer to kids as pathetic as not all of them are.

I think in most cases it’s the parents’ fault for how their kids have turned out. However, I do understand that there are some exceptions.

Actually my kids are very bright with fabulous imaginations and are not spoiled. They are polite to everybody they meet and work very hard for what they have got.

It is parents that are lazy not the kids.

I think the problem might be that you live at a daycare. My guess is, most of those kids are raising themselves. Most parents I know spend more time working than raising their children. Being a “homemaker” now days, just doesn’t pay the bills. I believe that kids are getting lazier, but I also believe that they are a product of their environment. It’s not the kid I can’t stand… it’s the parent who thinks it’s OK. Here’s some advice that helped me—- The next time a kid pushes your buttons, tell yourself, “I will not be outsmarted by a three year old.” It helps me.
Children survive off of raw emotion, and they’ll always push. Tolerance doesn’t come to us with age, it’s taught, and if need be, self taught. Good luck.

You’re right. I really jumped the gun by saying ALL of them. Just yesterday I met this kid who was probably one of the sweetest things ever. Put my foot in my mouth.

They’re not. They’re incredibly spoiled by thier parents. Its kind of sad really.

I really shouldn’t have said all, but it is something I’ve noticed.

A friend of my grandma bought herself a brand new car several months ago. Two weeks after buying it, she put it up for sale because her nephew, who is 4yrs old, didn’t like the colour of it.

He is one of the most spoilt and most selfish kids I’ve ever seen. And he is only 4yrs old!! I wouldn’t like to think what he is going to be like when he is older.
