When I read this, I thought, this is how I was raised, too. My parents didn’t spend all their time protecting us from the world. We were loved, but we weren’t coddled. No wonder kids aren’t leaving home, and no wonder they are “triggered” by things. Have you ever been “triggered?” Where did that come from?! Do they even have fun anymore, or are they too busy worrying about all the possible things that could go wrong?
I wonder what it’s going to take to reverse this trend?
I really love when you just say it like it is.
My husband never minced words about anything.
The great thing is that you are NOT being mean or vindictive...you are just stating the facts and truth of the matter.
...and you are SO correct.
More people should be standing up and saying and doing what is morally correct.
I think so. More should write, and speak, with moral clarity.

I don't know but I'm giving the question thought.
Unfortunately, I think it’s going to take some really hard times.
