Are We Raising an Entitled Generation?
Xbox. Playstation. iPod. Cell Phone. 7 year old.
Which one of those doesn’t go with the others? If you are anything like me, you picked the 7 year old. These days, it seems kids never really go without anything and don’t understand how hard you and your family work to give them the things they have. Some people think we are raising an entitled generation and I would have to agree with them.
Make sure you talk to your kids about money and how you need to work hard for the things you want. They should understand that sometimes you have to sacrifice one thing for another. If they want that iPod, they should mow some lawns or weed the yard to help pay for it.

The bottom line here is that it is possible to start a family without breaking the bank. In fact, if you were to wait until you’re financially “ready” to have kids, complete with all the trappings that new parents often view as absolute necessities, you’d probably never start a family.
92 Percent Want ‘Country of Origin’ Labels on Food
In what can only be described as “obvious,” 92% of people want their food to have the country of origin on the label.
It should come as no surprise to people that having everything you and your children eat, wear and play with come from a country with horrible environmental and human rights records might be a bad thing.
One more reason to plant some heirloom crops, try make do with not made in China and eat locally grown foods.
