“The tearful employee appears to have imbibed the notion of “my truth”, a popular phrase intended to rationalise the speaker’s beliefs and shield them from criticism based on facts.”
Sound like the hard-core Zeepers.
None of these articles point out that “family” is not what used to be the first and only husband, and the real father, as head of the family and home.
How do those families do in all the various measures, and also we need to start seeing the measure of effect of mother only families, which is very common today and seems to produce killers and angry, racist, and violent children who largely fill our prisons and are uneducable.
Well, thank goodness we don't allow *that* to happen!
Yeah, like the state of New Hampster.
What he describes may be the current culture of the West, but it is not Western culture. Get back to real Western culture and notice the difference.
“Dressing up like My Little Pony”
At this very moment I am at a cabin in Maine with a group of my fellow Bronies hanging out and having nerd fun. Among them are a tax accountant, a cranberry farmer and super genius researcher/entrepreneur.
Never happened. Especially in a large North American country. /s
My step DIL loves the term your mythology.
Of course, the “whole generation” is not being condemned, but an alarming trend is being noted.
More snarky Rothschilds corporate, anonymous writing that concludes exactly the opposite of all evidence cited.
No mention of home life. Many of these young people grew up without what was once taken for granted as being a normal childhood.
How many of them come from an intact family? How many of them were packed off to daycare, where strangers housed them? How many of them were raised properly by their own mothers at home? How many have had the benefit of a father’s guidance and discipline?
Proper childcare is important work and not something that should be farmed out to strangers. It requires parents to teach their children proper behavior, manners, how to cope, etc.
There are entire industries that would shrink to near zero if they couldn't produce and market to adult children but instead had to face a market of "sane, sober, moral, and prudent" people.
name-calling.
truth hurts sometimes.
big baby.
No kidding... I see them constantly, and in various states in this country. (The Blue State kidults are the worst of course)
Kidults are contributing to the downfall of our country in so many ways. They are generally idiots with a ridiculously high healthy sense of self worth and arrogance. Ignorance with an attitude. Wish they didn't vote, but they do.
Personally I sometimes wondered if I was the only kid who had parents who loved me, were there for me and acted like adults. I was not but it seems to have been a theme.
So when Gen-X had kids they were not going to make the same mistakes as their parents. They made new and better mistakes. They coddled their kids to the extreme. Everything was done for them and centered around their happiness.
And so here we are.
These kids are now getting older but not growing up and do not want to have kids at all because they can hardly take care of themselves.
School of Rock was over 20 years ago and was blessedly forgotten until they brought it up just now ... but Ted? How can you hate Ted?
Not so sure it’s the western culture it’s those who ignore it believing they know better fail ensues every time.
Colleges and universities are a prime example they take the bait to progressive teachers feed them.
“But the main liberal argument for allowing Ms Begum to return home is that it is against international law to make someone stateless. If it were not, countries could dump all their criminals on foreign shores and refuse to take them back.”
That is exactly what other countries are doing to us.
Want an infantilization problem? Look at Japan. They’re way ahead of us in that department. A surprising number of 30+ year-old males haven’t even kissed a woman, and many don’t even want to try.
Wanting some nostalgia is a little different than pure infantilization, but a large number of people 18-25 are stuck in, “high school” mode, and don’t want to grow out of it. My ex is 37 and is a really good example.
My husband and I are stuck living with my mom because of the garbage economy and the fact that neither my mom nor us can afford to keep living in our area without the other. It doesn’t help that kidney failure which began in my childhood and went unknown for about a decade peaked when I was 21 and took about fifteen years of real income from me. I scraped by on disability - $400 a month for the first few years, then up to $760, then $1100 when my dad retired. I often had as little as ten cents in my bank account as a result after bills and gas for the car.
My sister in-law wants to apply for disability with two children, one under ten, and I keep cautioning her against it. I told her it will ruin her financially. She CAN work, despite some back issues, so I don’t think she’d qualify anyway.
Life sucks, it’s true, but there have been far worse times in history to be alive. At some point, you have to grow up.
Sure, when I feel sick I throw Fantasia or other (good) Disney movies from my childhood to boost my morale a little, and I vent my stress by playing video games online with friends, but at least I’m trying to better my situation. I work my aß off.
