That’s also why I’m automatically when I hear people saying they should allow children to stay home past the age of 18.
My hackles raise INSTANTLY.
When I was 18, I had a 4.1 gpa and a full ride to 5 schools. And I worked PT at a pet store.
What were these kids doing for four years in high school when they were supposed to be planning for the next phase of their lives? Do you know how hard I was working in high school?! I used to have to apply for scholarships damn near daily during my junior and senior year. Anything less than a B would have had you losing teeth.
So now that you spent the last 4 years from the time you were 14-18 doing nothing but eating yo mama’s groceries…you want ANOTHER four years to do what?!
If you are working and stacking money and respectful then cool.
But if mom and dad are giving themselves heart attacks going in on their jobs, while you at home doing nothing or pushing your babies off on them…you gots to go!
I had to talk with a parent the other day who keeps giving their “child”…grow ass adult…money to pay his rent. She works at the post office. Where does HE work? And there’s SO MANY JOBS OUT THERE NOW!
I dunno even know. One girl told me she was mad at her mom for not wanting to watch her baby.Um…your mom is a clinical psychologist and told you not to get pregnant in the first place.
It’s too much for me to understand.
And they'll flex too..
Get a job and expect not to pay rent if they stay at home.. All while buying clothes and not helping around the house.. This generation wants everything and not lift a finger for it.. And cry bloody murder if they cant get it..
And we talking about 20 something's here..
And they fcking mad about everything.. They're more mad than the people who went through Jim Crow..
