No. If deny your kid of tough love this is what happens.

Kids need positive and negative reinforcement. Not every situation should end in a hug. Lack of parenting is why this stuff is happening.



I don't disagree, but you can do it all correctly and some of them will still go south. You can and should stack the odds, but I've seen siblings raised the exact same way take vastly different paths.

You stop and do a drive by post and all you can come up with is regurgitated horseshite.

Cut him off and make him pay his own way.

Then he will understand the value of money, have less time to be woke, and become conservative.

what a weird, spiteful way to approach things



Why? I went to college and you couldn't miss an hour of any class. School was 40 hours a week, I worked 32 hours on weekends and 24 during the week to pay for myself. What's "weird" is someone who goes to school for over 20 years, never has to work and still fails when they have to be an adult

Let him get his first paycheck, start a family, and beyond, his tune will change!

Liberal at 20
Conservative at 35
That trend is pretty steady!

I know all about that. In the late '20s, when I was a sophomore at USC, I was a socialist myself—but not when I left. The average college kid idealistically wishes everybody could have ice cream and cake for every meal, but as he gets older and gives more thought to his and his fellow man's responsibilities, he finds that it can't work out that way—that some people just won't carry their load ... I believe in welfare—a welfare work program. I don't think a fella should be able to sit on his backside and receive welfare. I'd like to know why well-educated idiots keep apologizing for lazy and complaining people who think the world owes them a living. I'd like to know why they make excuses for cowards who spit in the faces of the police and then run behind the judicial sob sisters. I can't understand these people who carry placards to save the life of some criminal, yet have no thought for the innocent victim.
