Why can't they think of anyone other than themselves? My efforts to teach them seem futile. I'm exhausted trying. They're disrecpectful of each other and of me. They're slobs. They're lazy. They're excessively self-indulgent. They think life is hard, but they don't know the half of it. Do I just hold on till they're out and on their own, and then watch them struggle pittifully to deal with reality, while I refuse to lift a finger to help them? They're 14, 16, and 17 (boy, girl, boy). Could it be that I think I'm trying hard to teach them, but I'm just decieving myself? Do I just not know how? Could I learn how to talk to them to motivate them to be considerate and responsible?
