I wouldn’t care if they are my kids. Anyone who hates Veterans and America would not be allowed to live in my house. Tell me that they’re not patriotic and I’d dropkick their ass through the goalposts of life. They can have their little, pink “My Little Pony” backpack and expensive Star Wars water bottle and I’ll let ‘em fly. They can take their Panda Express “bowl” with them also.
I moved back to my 80 year old mom’s house last year after my landlady died and the her family needed to sell the house where I was renting a room. There was almost nothing available for rent and my mom appreciates me being her personal assistant / chef /gardener after her husband passed away in 2020. She has been remarkably accepting of my MLP collection and in return I watch The View with her (Yes, I suffer though that train wreck every morning!). I can understand what these kids are going through. Cheap rent and cheap beater cars are a thing of the past, plus the burden of garbage education and nonstop digital distractions. Fortunately, my son excelled in school and now has a good job with the Federal Government, as does his girlfriend. They are currently renting half a house in Michigan.
