I tired to make it easier on my kids than I had it- I think I did them a grave disservice...

We all are guilty! It seems that $$ comes with ways and inventions that make our lives easier and easier. Our lives in our culture require less and less effort.
In the meantime, our kids are becoming overweight because they don't run and play like we did when we were kids. Today's kids sit in the of the TV playing video games, or surf the net for entertainment.
To show how spoiled I have become, one day a few months ago, I couldn't find the TV remote. Instead of walking up to the TV and physically making the channels change, I search for the remote for almost a half hour! I found it deep inside our sofa!
People are becoming less and less patient with inconvenience.(myself included!) I don't stop at a gas station where I can't pay at the pump!
