If you have children, You should try to include them in all the facets of homesteading. It's a great opportunity to teach "real world" lessons they wont ever have the chance to learn otherwise.
Think about how sad it really is. Look back at all your fond childhood memories. Now look at your children. now look at your memories again..... Now look at your children.
As children, we had fun! We played games! We had all sorts of inappropriate shenanigans. And most importantly we learned from it!
Our children's generation.... Not so much. Sitting around, glued to video games, Tablets, I-phones/pods/pads/whatever... they are missing their childhood memories!
I can ask my nephew what he did last summer while he was out of school, And he will reply with a big smile on his face about all the things he built in Minecraft. Or the newest videos hes seen on you tube. Or.... well, that's about it.....
We, as parents, need to break this cycle. We are raising a generation with no real world skills. They don't know where food comes from, How anythings made, How to fix anything... Or even whats expected of them in a social environment. Sure, They think they have LOTS of friends..... They have a friends list on Facebook, that counts, right? Sad when you really think about it, isn't it?
Our children are our greatest creations. Our future. Our hopes and dreams personified. Quit wasting their childhoods. They deserve better.
