@suzyQ3,
Grandchildren like yours should be bragged on!
I do not have grandchildren; okay by me, being grandma was never on my bucket list. My daughters are successful young women who love their work, and what they do in life, and never wanted children. I have one nephew; good kid, owns a home, and works a government job. My family is very proud of the nieces and nephew.
“What’s the matter with kids today” applies to every one of my husbands nieces and nephews and great nephews. Everything we hear about them just makes us shake our heads. Oldest is a functioning alcoholic, 5 kids by 4 women. Only one who had a career is on marriage #5. Next one also a functioning alcoholic. Next nephew insists his wife doesn’t have to work! Married 2 years, have a child, and his parents have bought 90% of the diapers and clothing for their grandchild, plus pay monthly bills for the couple. They still don’t have a pot to P in, nor a window to throw it out of, but drive a $40,000 vehicle. His parents are working 2 jobs each. Niece is getting ready to graduate; military won’t take her, she never applied herself in school, barely skimmed thru each grade, but “wants” to go to college. She’s pretty; I look for her to hang out the drive thru window at her current job for awhile, and eventually make some poor boys life miserable. Great nephew is a pierced and tatted freak; proudly says his butt cheeks are the only not pierced/tatted skin on his body......
Right now, not a one of the above is making this world better.

How sad. It appears that parents lost control at some point and gave up. In any case, unless they want help those five people don't have much of a future to look forward to.
