... many of us can say that we had great, loving, wonderful parents who taught their children right. We were their children and we learned to take responsibility, we learned to be considerate, to do our household chores, to get our homework done before watching TV. We were told to treat people with kindness and that's how they would treat us. We learned by our parents' example that if we worked hard and studied hard, we'd get ahead.
Somehow there was a disconnect ... because today's parents aren't teaching their kids those same things. Today's parents may not even understand how they should behave, and many aren't setting a good example for their kids. Where did the disconnect happen? I don't know. It might have been us, maybe we Boomers grew up to become not-so-great parents. Now our kids are the parents and they're completely lost, so it seems.
