Responsibility is a good thing, always. Years back my two daughters, early teens, decided they didn't think they had to do their chores, easy stuff too, helping me when asked, dishwashing and the house stuff. I said fine, no allowance. Them: fine. They had to do the chores anyway, wife and I made sure, they were pissed. Smart girls they learned fast, the allowance was a privilege the chores were mandatory. Smart girls learn quickly. I only wish they handled their children the same way but they don't. They are pretty good mothers and better spouses, but they learned that from my wife. And both are stay at home moms with college degrees.

Anyone who grew up on a farm will laugh at the idea of ironing with a paraffin iron being considered anything other than "rest"

I always hated ironing. I was always a rough and tumble gal and an afternoon of ironing was punishment. I was so happy when dad started letting me help in the yard instead.

And when you legalize pot, there's no hope of ever making them responsible.

  1. Make pot illegal.
  2. Get multiple generations of irresponsible brats.
  3. Blame pot legalization.

I know chess-playing sports-medicine majors that soared through college and worked their butt off studying, and still occasionally smoked pot at appropriate times.

Very true. I also have seen first hand the positive affects of cannabis on Parkinson's disease. I'm not saying it doesn't have it's place in some instances. But I've played in bands for decades and I know WAY too many people who abused it daily and when you talk to them today they are as dumb as a box of rocks. And some of these guys are kids I went to school with who were once very intelligent.

I completely agree. It is best as a community and society to shin drug and alcohol use. A second best is teaching our kids to abstain.
