Yes our Parents were great but where did they go wrong. They must have not taught us something along the way because as Parents of the 80's and 90's we changed everything. We insist on bottle water; bike helmets; cars with air bags; and we want to sue over a skinned knee. We also provide all the things you listed to our kids that keeps them inside. Mom and Dad both have jobs so they can live in a big house and have 2 SUV’s just to say we are keeping up with the Jones.

This may hit home with some so think about it. When you say times have changed from the good old days; we are the ones that changed it or allowed our system to change to where it is today.

You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day.
