[QUOTE="Annb, post: 2262665, member: 25851"] Children always were the hope for the future. As long as we adults don't ruin things for them, I reckon the world will do very well in their hands. I was just pondering yesterday - was the selfishness and greed seen in the generation raised in the 50's and 60's caused by the overshadowing influence of "the bomb" and the ridiculous advice given by government on surviving it? And did we, of that generation, teach our children to want it all - now? Well, to be fair, my kids had to learn early on that they couldn't have it all - probably ever and that the world and its people were to be respected and treasured. But I don't think that was very common when I see their contemporaries. I know I did pass on to my kids, the cynicism that I developed myself during those early years. This childhood lesson is partly why, when it comes to food, they are pretty sparing and careful. Neil is very careful about what he eats - not just because of his ill health and No 2 son eats anything, however far out of date, even if he has to cut the mould off of it. He hates food waste! Or any waste, come to that. Not that he expects his family to join him in his eating style - he just uses up what everyone else doesn't want to finish. I think I may have taught him too well.
