I like laughing at some of the daft ideas young people have, but I doubt I was any better when I was young .I'm not embarrassed at being an old git LOL, seen lots, done lots and laugh at what some youngsters miss out on compared to my day!
I was thinking more in terms of playing out around our village, two bob to get fish and chips and bottle of pop, home for bedtime by 8 oclock. Social skills are no longer there, practical skills of building a soapbox racer etc. Not like that any more.I like laughing at some of the daft ideas young people have, but I doubt I was any better when I was young .
Clearly some of your wisdom has/is rubbing off on them.At least my son and his friends do listen to our old age experience - I was explaining the joys of a company pension to one of them today.
In our local academy, kids were taught what benefits they were entitled to and how to claim them. It's soooooo WRONG.They really should teach more about personal finances at school, because clearly many adults have no idea either
They don't need teaching that, how to milk the system is something they seem to know, along with the odds for the bookies, and scoring darts .In our local academy, kids were taught what benefits they were entitled to and how to claim them. It's soooooo WRONG.
my boy is 26 and bigger than me nowBloody hell, I unleashed a can of worms there.
I have a 4 year old, and I agree with everything both of you said.
I'm determined that he's going to be practical.
