Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire The Boomers didn't do it

Hey duckweenie, guess you never raised any kids. It is like herding turtles, don't matter what you tell em ther school buddies have far more effect on their opinions than their parents do.

Wasn't it the greatest generation, educating the boomers?

Congrats on not reproducing and bitching from the sidelines.

Just straight into perpetual victimhood.

That don't sound right.

Have you tried spending time with them?

It's divisive and pointless to blame generations. Better to examine the factors which drove the negative outcomes.

It's tougher to raise kids right today than it was once upon a time.

I sure did, but amazingly I raised a pair of demrat haters, my son hates democrats but the daughter hard to say. So I'm at 50% for sure. The daughter did not vote for Beto or so she says.

Tell that to the Boomer that started this thread.

It ain't his first.

LOL

We should put blame where it is, the media and lying leftist scum.

Most of our problems today can be traced to December seven nineteen and forty one.

Women learned they could go work in the factories and buy shirts for their kids instead of sewing them.

Many women had no choice but to continue working when their sailor or soldier failed to return from the war. Many, many more intact families decided they preferred living on two incomes rather than one, after the war.

And yes, clear back to 1941, kids started raising themself.

I'll just skip right to the chicken dinner!

Wife and I homeschool the kids. Yes, it is a serious commitment of time, energy, and patience. We also gave up a lot of money to make that choice.

Do any of you imagine that things will get better without commitment, sacrifice, and a fuucking plan?

Or is it all "I voted straight ticket R!"

Fuuck off, worthless do-nothings. You ARE the problem.

And how do you know your kids want turn out like the rest of their generation when they get out of the dungeon and out in society with all the commie, woke, whatever buttheads running around trying to influence them?

Can't keep them under lock and key forever, and there are too many detrimental influences on young folks these days with all the technology and BS out there.

I have 2 teenage sons. One of them rides bulls. plays football, wrestles, hunts fishes, etc. I think he will turn out to be a good ole red blooded, republican voting American, but he hangs out with a bunch of woke kids too so I have no ideal what influences they have on him...

I'm still working on the younger son trying to turn him into a redneck, country boy, and not having much luck..I think he's probably going to turn into a woke DEM eventually no matter what I do..He was just born to be the opposite of my other son. He does excel at school and learning so I think he will have a great future as long as our country and economy survives.

That is a horrible thing to think, much less post.

LOL

You might wanna read a book on leadership.

Bull [bleep], sorry excuse for a parent that wasn't involved in their kids lives. Mine were raised right and know the difference between right or wrong. Passing the blame is typical of those who don't take responsibility plain and simple.

Simple. I talk with them. All the time. I tell them my thoughts. I point them to reality, the stuff that is age-appropriate.The kids pick up all kinds of ridiculous ideas from friends and the shows they watch. I point them back to reality. Which has nothing with being a redneck or voting "R." I am half of their homeschooling. We've been going over the Delaration of Independence for the past month, a few days a week. They are quite brilliant, each in their own ways.

The wife and I spent several years finding a place to raise them. A community with good people who are grounded in reality. We found it in a very inhospitable environment. Again, a sacrifice in many ways. But the only solution. We don't dictate what our kids become, but we can provide an environment where they are loved, challenged, disciplined, guided, shaped, and accepted. In the end, if I don't trust that my sacrifice, commitment, and plan amount to anything, I'd be just another "R" voting, TV-staring, consuming retard. If I can't trust my kids to at least make fewer mistakes than I have, why would I bother? Abortion is legal.

This cracks me up.

LOL

Yeah the Jews might get to them anyway so why even try? More time for TV shows if you don't have to run school.

Late 63 here and mine all voted red.

Interesting how each of us fumble our way through raising these kids. About the time my boy turned 6 or so, I looked around for some clues from my friends who were raising kids too. Everybody had a different plan. I looked at how my boy was doing, compared his resume on child rearing with my resume...son of a bitch, neither one of us had any prior experience. So I thought ok, let's just go hands off and see what happens, if it starts going to schidt, I'll get involved. The years went by, he never wrecked any pickups, never knocked anybody up, never tangled with the law, made some expensive mistakes in the logging business, but he owned all his equipment and he got out of it on his schedule, sold the iron and got a house, property and family and got a darn good job in forestland management.
The daughter was a cliffhanger though, never got in a jam, but the old folks never knew when or where she would call from. Where you at Kelli?
Oklahoma. Doing what? Herdin' cows. Where you at Kelli? Nevada. Doin' what? Herdin' cows. Where you at? Los Angeles. Doin' what? Ridin' out rich peoples horses. Idaho. Doin' what? Herdin' cows. We lost a lot of sleep over that girl, but that is her husband's problem now.
Neither one pays a lot of attention to politics, but they are firmly rooted in knowing where food, shelter and water come from...work.

Someone thinks he invented trickledown economics.







Spoiler.

It doesn't work.
