What would you say is the problem with the kids who bullied an older bus monitor?

1 Answer

Answer :

I think a lot if it has to do with the fact that there are no parents at home to raise our kids anymore. It now takes two incomes to raise a family instead of one. The big corporations took advantage of the women’s movement and doubled their workforce for the same effective pay. The result, parents who want to stay home and raise their kids no longer can and the kids are being raised by strangers and video games. I know my kids had their moments and I was so exhausted. I carry a lot of mommy guilt over not being there to help them navigate a lot of life’s tough decisions. (thank goodness they turned into law abiding citizens. It was a crap shoot. )
