Boy... I can't even talk about the whole "work ethic" subject at the moment. I'm beyond done trying to understand why people don't think they have to work when they are more than able to do so that it hurts my head. I do think perhaps that children are not taught in the same ways they once were. Be it by a direct route to teach it, or by example. It used to be a shameful thing not to work and provide for yourself and/or your family. I guess I never mastered the art of finding anyone to take care of me. If I didn't do it no one would and I'd be screwed. I work more than I want to take care of family responsibilities I shouldn't have to. But I believe that's what family is supposed to do when necessary. So I do it. I work to survive. It doesn't matter if I like it or not. But it sure does help if I manage to convince myself I do. So that's what I'm trying to pass on. I think it's really important for children to learn a good work ethic before they even know they are being taught. It's harder for them to rebel that way. =P
