And there is the attitude that has destroyed America as it once was. Kids are no longer a blessing. They are an INCONVENIENCE. Man, I can't stand this attitude. If you don't want the INCONVENIENCE of kids, then guess what.....DON'T HAVE THEM! And to ensure this, don't get married and don't have sex. Kids are kids and they NEED the time to run, to play, to relax, to forget about the homework they have due tomorrow, or next week. And they need to see that their parents view them as MORE IMPORTANT than any job outside the home...



I agree with 99SESPORT. Too many do not make their kids their #1 priority, however, I don't know if this is any less so than in the "good old days."
