Privilege
Affords you the opportunity to get your way most of the time when you're older but it also is dumped on you as a kid, setting yourself up to a privileged lifestyle in your formative years as a teen.
The challenging part I find watching today's generation and the upcoming next breed is they will rarely, if ever, sympathize and understand where their parents are coming from... In terms of why can't they afford certain things, why certain decisions are made, why is money so tight at certain times of the year.
Growing up for us was never easy. And I'll say this bodes true for a number of my friends. We all swam in the same boat because our parents, if they couldn't afford it, they couldn't. Today, I hear stories of parents giving in just to shut their child up, or not want their kid to be left out in the rat race of being popular.
Makes one question how are we raising young offsprings and will they ever be able to withstand a future that involves failure, dejection, back to back disappointments, and broken relationships.
Time will tell.
