Great to see there's some good people left out there. I like how you think, I completely agree with you on everything. Great to see there’s some good people left out there.

Being a single mom who's survived my kid's adolescence and lived to tell about it, I totally agree with you that some parents these days are just not that into their kids. Sad, very sad. Children look to us for example whether we realize it or not and the world's future is in their little hearts and minds. Your son's willingness to make new friends is a perfect example of what us adults can learn from the little people in our lives. Good post.

That is good customer service; something that is drastically lacking in the majority of businesses these days. You should be proud! I'll have to check out the skit. I do think the bad parenting habits have come from the desire to not be like their parents. Unfortunately, it is just making things worse :-\ @De Arya – That’s awesome that your son developed such a bond with his regulars.

Yes you see many strange and wonderful things. My son actually was asked to attend the funeral of a regular customer. Many of the elderly meet there for coffee clutch. Share a paper or watch a 5 year old screaming through the lobby. Parents lost control over 20 years ago and tend to "raise barbarians" quote by Whoopie Goldberg. A very funny skit if you catch it on Bravo. Feeling that their parents were too strict and now has gone the other way. Trying to be friends instead of guides in life. Great article and observations. You hit many things right on the money. My son has worked at Mc Donald’s for the last three years, so we go quite a bit to say hi to him and the family discount.

It is unfortunate that people are often too caught up trying to make themselves happy and they forget to help others. Ironically, helping others would make their problems seem so much smaller. @nancycarol - You are such a sweetie. You are also very inspiring. At 70 you're making an effort to become active in the world of online communities. I certainly hope other are inspired by you as well ;-) @Larry Ray Palmer - I agree. Parents really have a much greater impact on their kids attitude when they get older than they realize (that was confusing, hopefully you got what I was trying to say). I've learned a lot not only from my parents, but watching other parents as well. @Taylor – I agree.

Your point of view was really comforting to me, a 70 year old woman with kids, grandkids and great-grandkids, because it gave me a view of what tomorrow's world can possibly become. With people like you, I think we're leaving it in good hands. This was your best blog so far. I stumbled it, facebooked and googled it. Keep writing.

You learned all of that at a McDonald's! I think that if everyone helped each other, even if it were just 40cents, or whatever small sum of help, monetary or otherwise, then the world would be a better place. Wow!
