Unrealistic Kids and the Parents Who Indulge Them

[EPTR]

<p>

So true, NYC. A lot of parents are doing their kids no favors giving them expensive electronics and all sorts of other things that are not going to be items they will be able to maintain in their life choices. Unless the parent is willing and able to continue the subsidies for a long, long time, there should be some weaning period. </p>

<p>It’s not easy for a parent to do this, I feel. I’m guilty of overindulging.

</p>

<p>Me too. It is now hitting me with the art student recently graduated that the weaning must begin. I completely agree that anyone, when choosing a field of study, needs to understand the lifestyle that that field is likely to support and what it is not likely to provide. An informed decision.</p>

<p>Funny thought. My immediate response to the idea of bamboo; barriers! Most varieties spread relentlessly and need root barriers. There must be another lesson in there.</p>
