How to inspire you?
Just a thought....
What to say or what to do, how to inspire you if you don't care, and all you can do is hang around or lie in bed and feel sorry for yourself. Why don't you learn a skill? There's so much to see and do in this world with all the luxury you grew up in built by many who had totally nothing after being robbed after the war by the government, where we all, that is not the wealthy and certain families, started at zero, or actually 100. How come you cannot appreciate how we all suffered and blame us for your good life, we still bleed for? How come you are too lazy to find a job and always complain, and even dare to say that you are the breadwinner in the house? You are even too lazy to take a shower, make a sandwich, cook your own coffee and wash your cup! How come, how come, I have raised a child like you, never satisfied, not able to save before buying, always in debt and let the parents and grandparents pay for every shit that pops up in your mind. Are you the spoiled kid of the wealth we never had? I wish, how I wish, I had raised you the way I was raised. Your level of hate would be the same but at least you would have learned some skills and know how to survive, to create, to do repairments and what blood and sweat means, how it feels to be alive, enjoy a well deserved meal and night rest. Who knows you would even be happy with a talk, some real attention instead of the robot chats and paying a shrink for your pathetic life. How I wish you would inspire yourself but instead of inspiring you, I will inspire myself. Look what I've bought and packed! A new suitcase it's for you. Get out, I have had enough of you blaming the elderly for your misery, the lack of motivation after all we've done and the sacrifices we made. There's a 1 dollar billet, which is way more than 25 cents, I would say travel the world and don't come back ever, never. And try not to leave all your waste behind when you are on your way. BTW, your bank account is cancelled and you have to pay off your own debts. No way we, your parents, will do that for you since we never bought a bike, a car, had a holiday, partied night after night, and yes, we put all your stuff for sale since we paid for it, which means it's ours, not yours.
Farewell.

Kids' living in decent condition provided by the parents in real life. That's a good life to me. Throwing them out would certainly 'inspire' them to do something
One of those famous spoiled children
It is a bit too frequently that 1 woman takes care of many "chldren" but not one single person (child) takes care of her like @suryati1 also wrote
That was so dramatic! To the point of bringing it to the court?
Oh, a story like this makes us think and question ourselves, where did we go wrong in raising our children? We work so hard to make sure they won't struggle the way we did, but it seems that we overdid it. Now, they expect that everything to be spoon-fed to them, as if they are not growing up at all. Worst part? If something goes wrong, we parents are the ones who get blamed. But maybe that's just how it is....we are always loving, always giving, even though it can be difficult.
God entrusted them to us because he believes in our strength, our love, and our ability to guide them.
There are plenty of examples... My uncle was one of them
Or this one! 45 years old. Sues his parents for 50,000 dollars. According to him his parents put him in tje world and should take care of him forever just like they adopt a dog.
The judge asks if he is adopted and says: are you aware people get tired of their dog and even put it asleep 🤣🤣🤣 not that that made the guy think.
Este mensaje me llegó al corazón.
Habla de la tristeza y frustración que sienten muchos padres cuando ven a sus hijos desaprovechar oportunidades que sus propios padres no tuvieron, sin motivación ni agradecimiento.
No es solo enojo, es un cansancio profundo, una sensación de haber dado todo y que te hagan sentir que no fue suficiente. Lo que más duele es ver a alguien tan cercano, sin ganas de luchar o crecer, mientras otros han trabajado duro para darle un futuro mejor.
Esta carta es un llamado a la responsabilidad personal y a valorar el esfuerzo ajeno, pero también es una alerta de que, a veces, el amor se expresa en soltar y dejar que cada uno encuentre su camino, incluso si duele.
¿Cómo sanar esa brecha cuando el amor y el cansancio chocan? ¿Cómo podemos acompañar sin agotarnos? Quizás, Ricardo Arjona quería expresar algo similar cuando en su canción escribió acompáñame a estar solo.
This is definitely of all times. It is not very common in Dutch culture. At 18, you stand on your own two feet and many children already start with a job from delivering newspapers to holiday work at the age of 12-14. But that too has become much less. Either child has to deliver the newspaper and the mother does it.
Children's demands are skyrocketing. The low use of cash is also a big drawback. "It's just a few euro and if you don't have money get it from the ATM or use your bank card", is what the child says when you say there is no money for it.
The age of these "children" is increasingly over 40! I myself don't think such children can be motivated. Those who get everything without effort find every gift common and are hard to please. I have seen a lot of dissatisfied faces. Christmas is an example but also the day Catholic children take communion. I have never seen so many disgruntled faces as the time I experienced that in Germany. Just imagine having children like that.
I am still happy we do not Celebrate christmas with presents and all my children work, have their own money and mine do pay for the household expenses.
It is the only way to see how the money you worked for is mainly used to pay bills, bills, taxes and more bills and with some luck there's left for food and with more luck you can safe unless you want to go out.
Cuánta verdad en tus palabras. A veces pareciera que el problema no es la edad, sino la actitud con la que muchos viven: esperando que la vida les dé sin mover un dedo. Y sí… cuando todo se recibe sin esfuerzo, cada regalo se vuelve “normal” y cada gesto pierde valor.
Me hiciste recordar eso de que hay niños de 40… ¡y hasta de 50! jajaja Y es que si no se forma carácter desde pequeños, se crían adultos con cuerpo grande pero voluntad floja.
Celebro que tus hijos trabajen, valoren el esfuerzo y contribuyan en casa. Eso habla bien de ti, de tus principios, y de una crianza con sentido.
Al final, la vida no es solo recibir, sino aprender a agradecer, compartir y crecer. Porque el verdadero “regalo” es cuando entendemos el valor de lo que cuesta vivir… y aun así, seguimos sonriendo.
Un abrazo desde este lado del mundo.

I showed the video to my children today about the 45 year old guy. His father wants him out of the house since the parents pay for everything. That guy said that if you adopt a pet you take care of it...
We laughed, but at the same time we thought how terrible it is, not only to have a child like this with an abusive attitude, but the fact he is brainless.

Entre la risa y la indignación, me quedé pensando... A veces la realidad supera cualquier guion de comedia. ¿Cómo alguien puede comparar el cuidado de sus padres con "haberlo adoptado como mascota"? No es solo falta de respeto, es una señal de lo lejos que estamos llegando con ciertas actitudes.
Y lo triste es que no es un caso aislado. Muchos padres, con el corazón lleno de amor, terminan criando hijos que se sienten con corona… pero que nunca aprendieron a construir su propio reino. Y al final, son esos mismos padres los que siguen pagando las cuentas del trono.
It's certainly sad and I wonder where it went wrong but also whether such a "child" didn't already have an abnormality much earlier that perhaps the parents laughed away or of which they said: well it's just a child.
Strangely, there are many such situations and after years of foster care and counselling I do have the experience that not always the parents are to blame. Some children have terrible character and it manifests itself at a young age.
When the judge said: there are also pets that the owner has had enough of and gets rid of them or has them killed, do you want that too? Then I thought: a pet is many times easier than a child, makes fewer demands and is always happy to see you.
Kitty. Kitty. Kitty.
I can feel your pen on the paper. I know the story, that's why it's universal. The art you use is not like the dead letters of some of these paper scholars. You can feel each letter tearing through the sensitive spaces. That is the great strength of your style. Yes, it is your peculiar style, whose greatness you surely do not notice. It is normal to feel like you are writing like a sixteen-year-old (in our minds). But experience tells me that you can turn anything or any situation into art. Art with a soul of its own.
Keep creating, forget the gray clouds passing by. The bugs in the yard. The howling of wolves. We have 998 pelicans and an island, covered in sunshine, several hundred million square kilometers of sea. Did I forget the potatoes? Some message found at the last minute in a bottle near the river.
With admiration. You are great with words.
It's good to have you around, which is something the sea could say.
Did you find the message in the bottle?
I wonder about the pelicans... How did they multiply that fast? Weren't they smashed on the asphalt?
Today I will take a break, unless I create but it's wise to invest in a party. Balloons or something. Do you have a pair of scissors and tape?
