Okay, filthy rich. But, to me, he doesn't seem to suffer from some of the rude arrogance, that
others I have seen appear to.

My husband and I were just discussing that. Tiger Woods won again today. This time, wife and baby (Sam Alexa) were in the audience. Hubby sez in 18 years, she'll be on top of the women's tour, or would if Earl Woods was still alive. Then in the car on the way home, he says that's one little girl that will never want for anything. I said "You gotta be a little hungry and want things."

Basically, how does the generation that bootstraps itself hand down most of that drive and ambition? Or are the children (and especially grandchildren) doomed to be wastrels?

It is happening before our eyes.

Kids actually go through junkie like withdrawals, if they don't get what they want,
"right now".

College grads expecting top shelf wages, with only a basic degree, and no proven experience.

Teenagers yelling at adults, "you have to earn my respect". Not a lot of respect offered there. Can't expect any back.

Celebrity worship, Paris Hilton is to be copied? Jock's being almost deified, because they can play a game real good?
What about the local fire fighter? The Ambulance crews and Para-medics? Aren't these people worth some respect and admiration, even emulation?

I blame our own generation.

How many of your friends have you heard say. "I'm not going to be strict with my kids like my parents were".
Or. "My kids aren't going to go without like I had to".

And what happens? The child, is not taught to earn. The immature mind of the child, takes that as a sign it is special and every one else just has to deliver on demand or else, " I HATE YOU" comes out of its mouth.
And this is what I have heard from some quite prominent Psychology and Psychiatric people. They are genuinely worried. We actually have seen a degeneration of the human psychology since the end of WW2. And it really started accelerating during the 1960's.
Too many people with the "right stuff" died.

But, they made the mess, I'm on the last decade or so of my life, they are going to have to work it out for themselves. You see, apparently, it is different now, and what would we old foggies know anyway. Why don't we all just get out of the way and let the young ones who know so much more than us do what they know all about.
And I have actually had impudent young twerps speak to me like that. Not for long though.
It's hard to talk "bad mouth" with a broken mouth, youth.

Wow, time to get off the "soap box".

Miros1 · 08-13-2007, 02:24 AM

Bet Annie doesn't talk like that!

shorty943 · 08-13-2007, 04:03 AM

Nope, she is a good girl.

homerette · 01-24-2008, 05:46 AM

I don't know if this is particularly cute, but someone mentioned toddler's eating snow. Guess what else they eat when they're bored?

Miros1 · 01-24-2008, 12:17 PM

Yummie! Dirt!

Greg · 01-25-2008, 02:24 AM

It would appear to be a baby in a panda suit wearing mascara and eating sand. Most peculiar behavior.

homerette · 01-25-2008, 08:32 AM

Hey, those are his own lush natural lashes!

And I used to eat sand as a toddler too. Wonder if that's what's wrong with me now?

Greg · 01-25-2008, 11:27 AM

Does that mean you have true grit?

shorty943 · 01-27-2008, 12:37 AM

Here he is. My new baby boy.

Born on our national holiday Jan 26. Australia Day.

His name? Aussie, of course.

One day old, up and scooting around the paddock already, running his poor mum ragged.

Greg · 01-27-2008, 03:51 AM

Wow! Only one day old and he's already a toddler!

Sita · 01-29-2008, 01:42 AM

Even faster ageing than Sims! He's lovely, Shorty!

Greg · 01-29-2008, 11:11 PM

It's the eyes.

shorty943 · 01-30-2008, 10:42 PM

He's a little beauty. Already chewing on little bits of straw and hay.
Up and bouncing around the paddocks. Making friends with the dog.

When not asleep of course. He is a baby.

He just clambers through the fence every morning, as I'm doling out the hay for biggun's.
Wanders around a bit, the dog licks his face for a while, and he climbs back through the fence to Mum again.
All normal on this farm.

Sita · 01-31-2008, 02:36 PM

Sim babies are soo exhausting, specially when you are climbing down potholes all day - Eric is a Spelunker.

Greg · 01-31-2008, 11:29 PM

Babies like to climb into potholes?

shorty943 · 02-01-2008, 01:30 AM

Seem to remember tumbling into a few.

shorty943 · 02-07-2008, 02:09 AM

About 6.00 this morning, did arrive, just the prettiest little girl.

Greg, this little girl was 6 hours old when I took this photo.
Lunchtime today, Thursday 7 Feb.

Sita · 02-07-2008, 10:58 AM

Well my kids RL did - holes, stairs, hills, slides, you name it - bruises the size of eggs lol. Just makes me laugh watching the Sims parents fall over from babycare ... AND I DO now have a hack that means they put the babies in the crib BEFORE they fall over now. That and a cheat picture that teaches them to walk talk and potty, means I am really enjoying the babies again. Before they felt too much like hard work!

Greg · 02-08-2008, 01:36 AM

Wow, Shorty! It looks like she's doing great!

Sita, I thought so to. Caring for sim babies tends to be tedious just as the game comes out of the box. And maybe a bit surrealistic when a toddler falls asleep on the floor and the parents stand around fretting instead of just putting the kid bed.
