Life as we know it!!!

Whatever happened to the days when parents let kids be kids and our parents did not fight our battles for us! Remember the days when we jumped on trampolines without nets and if we got hurt, then we got a band aid and a kiss from mom....No one sued the other parents or made us sign an agreement not to sue if we got hurt. I have learned that now days parents tend to make sure that their children are the first or best and will go to great lengths to make it happen. If we did not make a team, or get the grades we wanted, our parents told us to keep trying and that was the end of it. They did not call the coach or the league and complain or insist that we get put on the team or be given a better grade. I say we go back to the days where the parents allowed the coaches and teachers to discipline and teach our children. Look at this new generation and think what the next one will be like!
