Do may eyes deceive me, or are parents stopping kids from mowing the lawn?
I’m 64 years old and walk/mow my own own lawn in Georgia, but I have yet to see a kid in my neighborhood here out mowing a lawn.
Are kids still being being raised with an appreciation for work? Or did Barkie outlaw that too. I don’t know, but I’m curious what’s happening out there.
How about Canada, Judy?
The little time I am in the city, I don’t even see kids playing outside, let alone mowing a lawn.
Today’s kids get out of bed, go to daycare/school, come home later than they used to, then either go to an organized sport or watch tv/sit on the computer.
On the weekends they run errands with parents, go to friends’ houses to play computer games, or visit with the parent with whom they no longer reside. It’s heartbreaking.
P.S. I also am 64....as of today.
