Why don't American parents teach their kids the values of hard work and personal responsibility anymore?

Instead it's "Here's a cookie, now shut up" or "Oh honey you don't have to participate in any activities if you don't want to, we'll just put you on Prozac and let you watch Netflix all day, oh and here's a new iPhone."

Look at the top. Our president doesn't seem to do anything except tweet and watch television. He thinks people who work hard are idiots. He's constantly making excuses and moving the goal posts. He doesn't take the time to research anything he's talking about, just watches a little fox news and then blurts out an opinion which is usually based on a misunderstanding of the facts that he could easily learn if he cared. He even got caught in a lie this weekend when he said he had a phone call with china this weekend, except the phone call never happened. He missed an important meeting today and claimed he was meeting with the prime minsters of england and india, but THEY WERE AT THE MEETING TRUMP MISSED! He was probably watching Fox and CNN in his hotel room.

Trump is teaching all american kids that phoning it in and then making excuses and huge promises is how you get ahead.

Promises of treats will gain you more votes.

My mom used to tell me about a time she tried to take her child to a movie and realized that they didn't have money for popcorn so the movie was canceled. So she took the couple in back to her house and paid the babysitter to go to those movies for the family. Then we were the only ones at the movie, in the back of the movie theater.

There were no concessions on the movie ticket so you basically got to go if you wanted and it was expensive, but it was the one movie that our family wanted to see. I'm always trying to give my kids these values in my home.

Is that why trump never takes responsibility for his actions?

Today, many parents are no more responsible and mature than their children -- hard work and personal responsibility are just as alien to them as to their children.

Parents who work all the time spend little quality time with their children. Poor children are often crammed into over crowded schools where again they receive little if any attention. They are left to their own reasoning and logic to figure out how to survive in this world.

Americans are privileged set of people. They feel as if everyone owes them sometimes therefore the always know and feel as if someone will do those things for them. Explains why there's a obesity epidemic.
