Until Microsoft releases the big new game "Lets Clear some Snow" You aint gonna see a kid do anything related to work. I asked my stepkids if they wanted to go fishing and both headed to the computer to download a fishing game.
Its the parents fault!

I totally agree.............teens are too selfish anymore. They want everything handed to them, and do no work for it......and the parents let it happen. Speaking of that.........I need to make my kid do some housework today!

Ditto! I was COUNTING on at least one kid knocking on the door, now i am screwed lol. I did have 2 young kids sledding off my deck stairs out back yesterday though WTF??? I had to tell them thats a big fat NO NO. It was pretty funny to watch though, i just didnt want them getting hurt and im pretty sure their parents wouldnt approve either. These kids play on my deck all the time. I dont have kids and sometimes i dont mind them being up here but what ever happened to asking before doing? Where are the manners on these kids? One of these days im gonna forget and be walking around in my undies lol then ill be gettin a call from their parents. I feel like i cant relax in my own house?!?!?

It's being reported that this generation of kids is the 1st that will NOT live longer than their parents generation. Every generation of kids (up until NOW) has managed to outlive their parents generation.
Do to lack of exercise (computer games etc...), poor diets (High Fructose Corn syrup overdose) and supersize EVERYTHING there is an epidemic of obesity and heart disease in young children!
I know I speak for most folks my of my generation when I say, we did NOT have to be nagged at to go cut the grass, shovel the driveway or wash dad's car. We knew it had to be done so we just DID IT!

MT Dew and Hot Pockets with a mix of other frozen microwave eats. Hell, theyre in so much of a hurry to get back to their games that they wont even put garbage in the can!
Our generation is gonna have to work till we're 90 and raise the grand kids to take care of their parents when we're gone.

Has anybody seen the Honda comercial with Jeremy McGrath. The kids are playing the McGrath video game, and Jeremy stops and tells them to get off their butts and get on a Honda. That comercial has to sum it all up, the new generation is LAZY! Take guitar hero for example, kids are more willing to "learn" how to play the game better, when they should put that work into learning how to play the real thing, and actually have something to show for it. My nephew wanted me to buy him that game, I bought him a jr. electric guitar and mini amp instead.

It's not all gloom and doom, I know quite a few kids that are always on the move. Yeah they are lazy at times, but so was I as a teenager.
How about in stead of complaining about lazy kids, you shovel your own drive way. Or do like i do, put it in 4wd, and wait for warm weather.:bigthumb

I have to say my son (Craigels) has been working his butt off during this snow. He has plowed our driveway twice - 400 ft. mostly uphill - and went thru the woods to his uncle's house to plow his drive - an even longer hill - so they could get out for work tomorrow. I bought 16 bags of salt and he just went out and salted the entire hill and most of the top while the sun is shining to get rid of this sh*t.
I wish we lived closer to Kelly, she sounds like she needs some help. Somebody take her a shovel!!
Meanwhile he has been working diligently to get the car ready for the car show. I'd like to take credit for how he was raised, but really he is just SUPER #1 Son!! Thanks Craigles!

Just do like i did and buy something 4wd. I'll never be without 4wd again. If i have to buy a beater truck just for the winter then so be it.
i plow...granted im 22, but i have been plowing for 5 years for the company i work for and few years on my own. 07 F550 with a western plow/spreader what i use for the company. This coming year i want to buy another plow truck though, used to have a chevy with one....made some good money....when i see white, i see green! Dont know why more kids dont get into though.....

Gets paid $85 an hour by a sub to plow for 48 hours straight when the weather get gnarly.
Of course, if you off set the cost of the bob car haha....

I have a little Crafsman snow blower My dad gave me if there is 6 inchs of snow it does fine. It ran away when it saw 2 feet. I used to make a ton of money when I was a kid with a snow blower and a shovel.

I helped my boyfriend, his dad, and brother shovel their driveway on Saturday once it all stopped coming down. After shoveling most of it off they got out the ranger with the plow and a couple tractors. It took all four of us 3 hours to get the thing clear (the driveway is huge) I havent shoveled snow since I was little (Im only 21 now) and now I remember why, my back/body is killing me :dummy:
I do agree though, almost every time it snows at my house we usually had about 5 kids wanting to shovel but over the years we are now down to none, its a sad thing :( really how lazy this generation has become.

I took my kids to Ft Mitchell park for sledding today and I about lost it. Here comes 4 kids, teens, 3 of them carrying snow shovels. At first I thought they were out making money but they headed to the basketball court. They worked their tails off to shovel the court. One of them even broke his shovel handle. They cleared half the court and then played ball for a few. If they put that much effort for a game, they could have made some serious money today.

Yeah I have played sports since I was 6 and in middle school and high school I did cross country and track (along with Basketball and Softball) so my knees and ankles are a wreck and I get pains ever so often to where it almost hurts to walk (doctors keep saying over all these years its growing pains but I havent grown any since I was in 7th grade so that I believe is false). So I cant wait to see how things are gonna be when I get older :eek: :blink: :doh:

I shoveled mine 3 times Friday and once Sat. They let us go at work earlier so in between working on my car in the garage I would go out and shovel the driveway and then go back in the garage and kick on the heater. Well my son helped too....lol. But it's a lot easier to shovel 2 inches at a time instead of all 10-12 at once.
I do know if I was a kid I would have made some major money this weekend.

I had one offer to clear the drive and that was from two 40 year old guys with shovels. I have to agree with most on here, if it looks like allot of work for a teenager you can forget it.

I got up Saturday to find out my neighbor using his snow blower on my driveway. So once I got out, I passed it forward and dug out my neighbors car, the guy across streets driveway and removed the 1' snow mound that the plow truck left in my neighbors driveway that did mine earlier. Then I ran out of gas and was out of 2-cycle oil before I could lend it out to a friend down the street.

Speak for your self or your own teenagers brother.

I cant say too much, because my Grizzly 660 plowed me, my 3 neighbors, and my street out. I can say, that due to multiple motorcycle/dirtbike crashes, that I use the atv because the arthritis is less of an issue that way lol. But then again, I used to be that kid that shoveled....As for the 4 wheel drive, I roll like Katmandu! Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 ext cab! Freakin tank in this sh!t....

All through the years, generation, after generation, the adults have been preaching gloom and doom from the next generation. Most teens are inherently stubborn more than lazy.
If YOUR teenagers are lazy and worthless, it's probably YOUR fault, so quit bitching, and do something about it.

Lol...I have a "newb" teen. He just turned 13 in November, and thought he was big shit...lol...for about 10 minutes!!
I put the clamps on him, and his "lifestyle" the instant he started acting a fool, and the nonsense stopped immediately!
he's always been a great kid, but they will all eventually test the waters at certain stages of their teen lives!
All in all, I don't have to remind him to do stuff as much as I have to remind the wife! :lol:
My 13 year old son & his best friend made over $150.00 shoveling walks & driveways this past storm, people were shocked that they were out there, but were willing to pay them for there efforts. They learned what it is like to work hard & be rewarded for it, now he wants to get into the lawn business this summer!
