I think if we really sit down and think about it we could say the same about us and or father or grandfather as we say about us and our grow kids. We have been evolving for generations to a one track life. Take my grandfather. He was a dairy farmer that did everything. Grew crops; milked cows; delivered milk with horse and buggy. Then my father milked cows. He left the growing crops and delivery to some one else. Knew very little about that side of the business but still kept the small farm attitude. My generation is mega dairies.
Now with my kids. Did I fail them??? Well I can remember one thing my son said to his mom when he was 25 or so. "I wish I had paid attention when dad forced me to help him do so and so. Maybe now I could do the same for myself" But then again he has the money to pay someone to do so and so. The point is he does not multi task well. He does his job very well but ask him to do something outside of his job and he is lost. On the other hand I do not multi task as well as my father or grandfather. They knew many things I have no idea how to do.
Look around and you can see this all over. We do our job and live in our little world. Ask us about anything else and we are dumb founded.
Take Atlanta this past week. It was the governor; mayor; weatherman's fault hundreds were stranded on the highway. Did you once hear anyone say it was my dumb a$$ fault for going out that day. Would you have seen the same blame game 50 years ago??
So yes I have failed in raising my kids. Just like my father failed me and my grandfather failed him. We have grown as a society to expect everything handed to us. We will pay for the service but we want someone else to provide it.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
