Some of the comments about today's youth are pretty harsh. First of all, this article is about FARMER'S children; this has nothing to do with urban or suburban children. It's comparing apples to oranges. Secondly, it is exactly because life on the farm was so difficult that parents wanted an easier life for their children. They wanted their children to get an education so they could have options other than farming, or other physically demanding labor.
So, if you need to blame anyone for today's soft, entitled, "snowflakes" look in the mirror. Today's youth didn't get this way in a vacuum. They are the result of decisions made by previous generations.
Apparently, there is still a great division between country and city folks. We need to value the farmer's old ways of hard work, self sufficiency, and caring for our neighbors, while also respecting the advancements that have been made, in many cases, by those who moved into the cities and got higher education.
Life is challenging enough without having to endure the judgement and denigration of others.
