In his show that there a more special than never but very little this -- for joining us now -- -- the radio show host.

And with not from Siegel network and also our favorite mother of six -- Thank camp yeah had a lot of other mothers of six and I got a pick up yeah.

Hello at a get a flu -- and a big fat guy I of course sharing my -- to challenge -- get it out there.

-- thought about this all the time and this is -- right down your Alley you know listen because I'm raising spoiled kids and that did you guys go to did you go to will Occupy Wall Street at all did you.

I have walked by the occupiers.

And Africans get up and a good job I mean I completely don't understand it frankly.

But.

When you -- these studies these studies it's more let's say what we kind of already know I know I spent a lot of time down there in.

It's sort of like you know you have to tell these kids know back in the day they should give you go watch after you retired that the first thing on the gig you know but.

Link is between the -- in between the ease of getting credit and kids getting credit cards at young ages to celebrity lifestyles but kids thank.

Is just that easy to -- because people don't contribute and that they're still making billions of dollars and I don't understand why.

And -- and adjust the social networking we have moved to the bar.

Far what kids -- appreciate with the something that we've talked about before.

But more than that in terms of what it takes to have work ethic and -- -- true understanding of self worth and I think -- McCain -- in this article.

That there's a fine line between thinking you have game and thinking that you raise the sun in the morning.

There is a there's a big difference between being a narcissism and thinking that you have capabilities.

And at the end of the day no one wants to hang around with the -- but would have all your friends with a very ones in the businesses.

You know and aren't we aren't we Jones as a civilization the reality is is that we have.

I'm not a quarter of I think the statistic was -- I'm not mistaken a quarter of adults between the ages of eighteen and thirty are living at home.

There is any increase in the number of college grads who are getting jobs but the still job market is very -- started businesses very top.

So where these freshman in this study come off saying that there -- are greater than they aren't that they know that they're going to succeed.

They are working less they admit to studying less.

But they still -- expect to achieve what they want is just a realist.

I think my -- my son is sixteen and I think he's more bad than I am and a whole lot of areas and he's he's very intelligent he knows more about the world in certain ways and I do -- -- at that age but his work ethic it's not even attempt in my working I think not even that of the.

That's gonna -- my natural question to that is -- principally -- because parents love their children they want them to have the best but then.

I guess one have to ask who is the -- is -- society is that the parents.

I -- basis -- while I think it's a lot of things and I don't let my kids in my proficient and a lot of areas that are not present my kids are better mathematicians on my IT department for Apple's fourteen years old.

So interns -- -- those things.

Yet the you know kids today definitely have specialist -- that we did not however we look at this is a bigger bigger issue I don't want my kids living with -- -- when they're adults.

And that means that they need to go happening to get jobs will help them if necessary if that's what it if -- -- got to pay rent somebody's got to learn.

Personal responsibility it's not all coming to you this is not this can't be a society where we raise kids who -- -- they haven't coming to them.

But it feels like that in -- listen genie is out of the bottle we've already we've already entered into that sort of Friday.

And you just gotta wonder where it is -- start because stop -- because.

The president ran on the idea that hey I'm I'm -- I committed to that you definitely your parents basement to the 27 that's a good thing -- a -- thing we need more people like you to articulate listen.

It's really not a good thing.

I really young people would be scared to know that there needs to be more people like me out there aren't my my husband would -- a little bits of things aren't -- that.

But I also you know keeping in mind the president's and other our our respective of hard work and building yourself up it's -- -- that has something to.

To put out there let's leave it there thank you very much for your C as soon --
