Kids in our generation are so much better than those of our parents generations.
Yes, that is a huge statement, especially as many people don't see any of the good sides of this next generation.
I'll use my own family as an example. My grandpa wasn't really a dad. In fact, my mom hated his guts till she was 30. My grandpa never held or touched any of his babies, pretty much he'd just say, "Oh, that's nice." All he did was go to work, come home and eat and watch some television show and then go to bed.
But when he got mad at one of his kids, he got quite mad. He would just explode. But that was how many of the fathers were in the 1950's. That's just how it was. Of course there were always exceptions, as the tv show Leave It To Beaver.
But with every passing generation, the kids have the chance to improve upon the family that they grew up in, to make it better.
The internet helped with that a lot. Over time more and more parenting books, articles, videos, tv shows, and everything started to come out. More information became available to everybody.
Our parents for the most part (I'm talking about the parents of kids born in the 90's such as myself; maybe late 80's also), have been in that transition between not a lot of parenting skills, and the opposite. Some of them just didn't know what to do with this influx of information, so could be, confusing.
Like my friend Kevin, his father is a very confusing case looking at it from the outside.
And kids in my generation seem to be much better than those that came before us, already I can see that even at such young ages. No matter how much I may talk crap about my own generation, I believe they are going to end up as great parents. Of course... I could be wrong.
Ha, they must be in Florida...

This is what the older generations see...

I nearly forgot to mention the alcohol...

Of course, I didn't just hear bad stories about him from mi madre and her siblings...there's lots of funny ones...but those are mostly from when he started getting old.

Gotta hope for it, but you can't just sit and dream... you gotta get up and make it happen.

That earth should have zillions more dots. There are many more computers than that.

Blogs being stupid... it says "Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome."

I really should have put up a picture I took while I was in Bahrain. The lights are red and green at the same time. Confused me at first.
