My son will pass those ethics on to his children...that's what being a good father/mother is. Laziness breeds laziness... If you watched BS two parents discouraged their daughter from taking a job because it paid more to get welfare. I had such respect for a 16 year old girl who went against their wishes to work and earn her own money for her own self esteem and pride.
It's nobody's fault but the government for installing this mentality...but my admiration goes out to my son and others who have the pride to earn a living and demonstrate good ethics to others and children.

So I sat at home and took handouts while I home schooled 2 children , if it wasn't for the benefit system I couldnt have done that, so where does that put me?
My children have friends in 5 bed exec housing land and also in benefit street and the greatest lesson I have ever taught them is dont judge people on where they live or what they look like.Great people come from all walks of life and circumstances period.
