It was called home ecominics when I went to school and It isn't taught in our area like it use to. Its call home and career but they don't teach what they should.
We were taught how to buget money, grocery shop, laundry, sewing, entertaining planning, and cleaning a house, most important cooking the basics.
Now days girls and the guys, can't even make a cake from a box, Good grief if they had to sew a button on, they throw the article out and buy new.
Cooking for the family is mcdonalds. or thode frozen meal in bag. Those meals in the bag are expensive and last one meal. If they new how to cook they could cook a meal from scratch and last for 2 -3 days.
Kids are having kids, I can't stand to see them out with babies, no hats on, or socks, just a blanket around them and then they get made cause they have to stay home the child is sick, oh heck why stay home take the kid out away. That drives me nuts.
Todays kids are the instant gradification generation. Save money to purchase something, heck no, I want it now and then they buy it, never mine the rent or the electic bill is due.
Work ha! A friend has a son that got a job at UPS. He worked there for the summer earning I think around 14.00 an hour with benefits. Said he wasn't moving up fast enough and quit and then proud when he got a job (min. wage) at the pac sun at the local mall. He going where now??? When happen to working your way up.
Oh geesch I could go on - but I think thats enough complaining.
It hit a sore spot with me.
Life changes as the years go on - I just can't picture life in the future unless these kids change.
Have a good day
Now days
