I would have sworn we were Russian when we grew up cause my old man is as sharp as the sickle and as hard as the hammer that crosses it. Probably the sweedish side of my heritage. We learned the value of hard work very early on. I can't even talk to kids these days , most of them make me sick. My wife's son is 21 , lives with us , has never even had a driver's license. He's a smart kid but lazy as an old hound dog. I don't even try to get him motivated anymore I feel like it's easier to struggle and do things myself then have him help me. It's sad but these kids don't care. When we aren't here to do everything for them they are F'd. We are lucky that over the years I have been able to amass pretty near anything that we could ever need. Our kid would have everything he would ever need to survive if mom and I weren't here but he wouldn't get out from in front of the play station long enough to ever use any of it. He would freeze before he split any wood or light the wood boiler. He could have 3 trucks to drive but no license. He would have to find a job but it would be tough to get there. I don't understand these kids these day they make me sick.

A saying goes about farming.

The first generation starts it.

The second generation grows it.

The third generation usually pisses it all away.
