Do you feel bad for the children of today's generation?

That's good to hear from you. I hope that most parents do the same for the kids. But we can't blame them though, for being always busy working their butt off to put food on the table.

You're right, but those parents maybe thought that's the way to raise their kids. Parenting is such a challenging and complicating most of the time. Thank you for sharing that.

Actually you can blame them just because they work all of the time to put food on the table doesn't mean they can't stop for 5 minutes and take some time to do something with there child. My parents worked all of the time seven 2 jobs and that never stopped them for doing stuff with my and my brothers. I have never let anything get in my way of me and my kids having a little bit of time. Yeah my stay at home mom but I got things I have to do every day in which some times means I don't have time for my kids, I have to force myself to have time with them and I force my husband to do things with them as well. Even just telling a babysitter would you please do this with my kids that is all it takes. Schools these days are going into the ipad direction so parents have to make time even if it's just a few minutes to take there mind off work other then when they go to bed. There kids are missing out on something that they will never get back.

Most children won't really believe it. MY nieces and nephews are like that too, they don't believe me when I tell them how our childhood was. Some things they could not even imagine, like swimming in the river because the river now has become very polluted it's really not safe for them to swim in there. I remember when we were kids, we stole guava fruits from one of our neighbors. We were caught but the old man just laughed and told us not to steal next time because he would give us the fruits if we just asked for it. That was so fun.

Not only guavas were stolen during those times. We also stole some young mangoes and other young fruits of our neighbors in our early years. We use to peel them and deep them in a dish of salt. At times, we were chased with dogs but of course we run away as fast as we could or climb higher up the tree and never move. until the dog is tired of barking.

Yes, that's their advantage. They have an advanced learning when it comes to technology, but still it would be nice for them to experience nature the way it was decades ago. Thanks for sharing, have a nice day!

Or we can play with the kids with those computers, we can be their online playmates, lol! Thanks dorannmwin! Have a nice day!

That is so true and we had to be home when the street lights came on. In our teenage years we had a curfew.

Looking on the brighter side of life? Got it! Thanks dude! Have a nice day!

Thank you for your response, it reminds me those days when me and my sibling just walk going to the school together with the entire kids in the neighborhood. It was so much fun!

Yes, parents are still the children's role model. If most parents are into today's modern technology, we can't really blame them because technology makes our lives easier. But the problem is there's a price to that.

That's another thing, communication. Some children today just use social media to communicate. They only have few chances to relating to people from different walks of life.

That's true! Money was not that a big issue back in those days. Couples have many children because they can afford it. Now some couple have only one or two child because they think they can't provide for many children, and life now is a little harder for the kids financially speaking.

Yes, and these games make many children obese because they don't have much physical activities, unlike during our times. Games were fun of like our sport already, we were very active kids and rarely get sick

Technology is really good, it can make a lot of things easier, we can finish a lot of work in no time, communication is excellent. It's just we have to pay a price for that.
