Go to Love, Aunt Mita

Yes. One of the children I care for expects everything handed to her immediately. She has a good heart, but her demanding ways are driving me crazy. I'm looking forward to summer's end.
Her mother seems very down-to-earth, however, so it's hard to imagine all this egocentricity coming just from the home. She even suggested that I not allow this girl to "test my limits". So who knows? A grandparent may be spoiling her?
Partly, I think it's the TV programming. When I was a kid you had to wait for Saturday morning cartoons. Now everything revolves around the kids. I'm hard pressed some days to find something interesting and "adult" to watch.

I think some people are but others, like myself, teach their children more realistically

Sadly, I believe your mother is right, MandaLee. Our children need to be taught the ways of God the Father...not the ways of self-indulgence and self-fulfillment. Be blessed, my friend...it's good to see you again!

Kids need to learn the value of elbow grease! Pampered ones are the first to fall in strife in my humble opinion. sam
