Too busy pushing kids out of the way to get to their job, and too busy pushing them away when they get home from their job. Never too busy for 5hrs of television. American males, dads or not: you are MORE than your jobs. You just need to realize it. Women didn't steal it, you left it on the floor. What's needful around you? Whatever it is pick it up without grousing.
I'm saying all this because I'm paying it forward. That's what's kept America strong. If it works, use it. If it doesn't, hammer out a better plan and pay that forward.
Did it occur to you that men have less to give to be generous? Are you going to feel much like volunteering after working 60-70 workweeks? Would it be wise to give a hundred dollars to charity when you received a final notice on your electric bill?
Also if you think it is only men who have gotten colder, I'd advise you to book a flight to DC and see some cold- women who can give men a run for the money in the coldness dept.
how sad. The parents are enabling these goodfornothings.

When Connor was still in school, sometimes he’d encounter friends of his parents who’d press their business cards on him: “They’d say, ‘I’m in insurance—call me when you get out of school.’” Connor threw the cards away. He says he’d rather wait tables for the rest of his life than work in sales. Besides, he has a buddy from college who’s made it in L.A., in films. The buddy’s success validates Connor’s approach to life: “You have to have faith in your intangible abilities.”
What are the parents getting out of the moochers living at home?
Realistically, part of it is avoiding the shame of having a kid living out on the streets, or some other similar fate.
At least by letting the kid live at home, you aren't known as a parent who raised a literal bum. A figurative bum, perhaps, but that's several notches above an actual bum in most people's social hierarchies.
When you add in the gays, it's an epidemic. But the females out there aren't any better. The whole generation is pretty worthless.
and yours was oh so perfect?
we'll end up bettering most generations in the end...
when was the last time people did something worth mentioning?
maybe the moon...those in between then and now?
i see a whole bunch of slackers, but they're not my peers.
many men before me are my personal definition of worthless...
the article is just gender bashing.
