The real thing that I see is everyone wears their feelings on their sleeves anymore.
When I was in school, if you got your feelings hurt, that was just tough sh**. Grow some thicker skin then.
Now it’s a freaking lawsuit.
My daughter got into it with a teammate on her gymnastics team the other day. As she headed towards me all teary eyed I told her to get her butt back out there and deal with the problem. The other girl’s dad was next to me and told his girl the same thing. Neither him nor I was going to put up with this ubersensitivity that seems to be the standard of the day.
I did the same thing with my son at our park pool last year, he came running over for some reason or other and I told him to get back there and deal with the problem himself. Problem was my wife was there, we got into it good about when it is right to just let them deal with their problems themselves. I think crap like Oprah and Dr. Phil is to blame for a lot of it too.
