As Suzie said: entitlement. That pretty much sums up the world today. This certainly translates from every day life into people's dating lives. They feel they don't have to compromise with anyone because they should just get what they want.

Everyone thinks they deserve all the best things in the world without having to earn it. This is more true of younger generations than older ones. It's a world where nothing is ever good enough and the illusion of choice is killing the dating and relationship world.

When we lost shows like The Cosby Show and Family Ties, we starting moving away from the idea of the family structure. Nowadays TV shows that promote functional family units with a father and a mother don't do well in the ratings and ultimately gets canceled. Because that is not what folks want anymore, real or fictional.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16838249664327946360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726120322588904573.post-39954937570074701732014-03-01T12:21:05.914-06:002014-03-01T12:21:05.914-06:00I agree, C, but I think we've lost "the v...I agree, C, but I think we've lost "the village." Neighborhoods don't always survive from generation-to-generation, so there's no one you can really trust to look after your kids like our neighbors did with us as a kid. Also, being followers is what a lot of young people are notorious for doing. They can't think on their own. They have to watch TV for instructions and it's sad.Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14371841750506260427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726120322588904573.post-89216136669804966222014-03-01T12:18:58.582-06:002014-03-01T12:18:58.582-06:00Exactly.

It is not now, nor has it ever been, cute to be a grown person who finds oneself fighting like a savage. Sad. I'm from the era of Living Single and Martin but I don't remember them having a theme of "shacking" on Living Single. I can't remember when Gina moved in with Martin but I remember her having her own place but I specifically remember an episode where Regine was flustered about moving in with a man because of fear of what her mom would say and Sinclair and Overton didn't live together until they were married. I said all that to say that I believe you are right that what is portrayed on television shapes the mindset of some while it reinforces beliefs in others. I know it reinforced my personal belief of not living with anyone until marriage and certainly not disappointing my mother. This is the time that the parents AND the village need to step up and I uploaded these kids up to dry land from thus slippery slope they are sliding down.Carmen H.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726120322588904573.post-6592737505152889782014-02-28T19:09:15.181-06:002014-02-28T19:09:15.181-06:00You are so right.

Calling someone a "hater" is absolutely the best way to escape responsibility from criticism.

Having too many enemies is never a good thing but the more jealous losers there are hating on you only means the more right you are. If you simply relegate everyone who doesn't agree with you to the rank of "hater" you'll never have to accept responsibility for your words & actions ever again.Vinny Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11807312191102871918noreply@blogger.com
