| 14. My wife loves those shows |
|
for the life of me I don't know why.She changes the channel as soon as I voice my disapproval of the behavior of the kids on the show. I didn't get my first car until I was 23. For the first 6 months of my new job I walked to work. My kids all had beaters for their first cars and paid for them themselves. These parents think they're teaching their kids something about ownership/responsibilty but that's not the case. Just another generation of spoiled brats with an inflated sense of self.
