“Too many young people today think the world owes them something...”

To me that sounds like young, college educated folks. I have seen that first-hand in the workplace.

On a positive note, I am filling my pool in my back yard and have some dirt piled up. Neighborhood teenagers have been on me like vultures to help move that dirt for some pocket money. It’s 95 degrees with about 70% humidity but they were out there in it shoveling and hauling dirt and not one complaint. Hopefully college won’t ruin them.

My wife and I take care of our own yard. I’m surprised at the number of homes in our neighborhood that have teenage sons but hire yard companies to come by and do their yards.

Sounds like you have some good kids.

As a side note: Somebody can through our neighborhood last night and egged a bunch of cars. My next door neighbor’s was hit and he was grumbling as he cleaned it. I said “Look at the bright side - they could have been using a BB Gun.”
