[QUOTE="wawazat, post: 3756920, member: 35603"] I think a lot of kids are not brought up to appreciate the time, energy, and sacrifice that goes into the things around them. Either theyre in a house where the government provides and there is no time, energy, or sacrifice in the things around them or they are from a household where minimal time, energy, or sacrifice is put into them to show them. When you don't see people's sweat in the things they own, there is no reason to have any respect for it. It takes a lot of effort and conscious decision making to ride the line between the kids having it better than we did growing up and not losing the drive doing without instilled in me and their mom. I have no idea if we are doing a good job or not, but we are working at it. I guess we will know for sure in the next 10-20 years then they reach adulthood and take the helm on their path. [/QUOTE]
