[Margaret Pilkington]

I think parents have given them the things that they have wanted....I know my parents struggled to feed us let alone give us the things we aspired to.
if we aspired to something we knew that if we wanted it badly enough we could get it by working for it....and I don't know about you, but I went without things so that I could save for what I wanted.

I didn't go on foreign Holidays, I didn't go on any holiday for a long time...the money that would have been spent on such things was put into savings to buy such things as furniture, a wardrobe...or to have improvements done to my home( I figured I would still have my wardrobe when those who had holidayed abroad had lost their tans).
I never bought anything that I could not afford(no credit cards back then...just HP)
So that is what I mean...parents have brought up children who have grown into adults who expect to be able to have everything to match....and become sulky when it doesn't go their way.
Snowflakes...whingers, moaners.
Those who seem to enjoy saintly victimhood.
The poor me generation...those who have never had to go out back in the middle of winter for a bucket of coal or to use the lavatory.
