My kids will never suburb like I did as a kid.

[lesterholbird]

My dad was big on not wanting me to suffer, but he also believed the struggle was good for the soul. Therefore, i had a safety net when i absolutley needed it as long as it wasnt abused. That and some tough love lessons have been very humbling.

[rzawistowski]

Take them on long tent camping trips, conoe trips for a week. Learn to struggle with nature, it make you appreciate everything you have so much more. You must create struggle where there is none.

[amaas]

Same thing goes for heroes and society.
Society at a low makes criminals, criminals make heros, heroes make peace, peace makes stagnation, stagnation makes a low society, and so on.

[paullenoue]

I'm the opposite. When I struggle I lose all ambition, never do anything but what I absolutely had to. When I'm comfortable, living good and stress-free I'm doing a ton of stuff all over the place.

Bro really put Backstreet at the end 😅

There's truth to this There's also truth that second generation kids can have more of an identity crisis than their parents. Living in the all american suburbs but feeling culturally different than one's peers can cause issues.

[richardprotsman]

I watched in a report many years ago about one of the wealthiest families in the US. The parents tell the children there whole lives that they will never inherit their parents wealth. Instead they tell their children that they will spent the money the children would have inherited on helping them build their their own wealth. That is how the family has stayed as on of the wealthiest families in America

[paulwarner]

Take away the struggle and hardship and you take away a reason to live a life.❤

I've heard this story before with some of my friends, and I see their kids, this happens a lot thank you very much for your clip.

Struggle shows you the way to greatness

I grew up in a very nice suburb, some of his kids had to shovel snow in the winter, cut grass in the summer, sell stuff from door to door usually for scouts or school, but, that’s what we had to do if we wanted to have a little spare change in her pocket. The doctor & successful business owner’s kids in the neighborhood …well, they were the little delinquents that I had to avoid for most of my childhood.

[MichaelSHartman]

Kids see, and witness the struggle. They are pushed to be better, to be someone with wealth. The grand kids know nothing of struggle. They are the upper middle class.

[WIImotionmasher]

I dont like how people regularly paint being miserable and poor as "ambitious". You know how many miserable poor people give up and don't make it? MOST. Similarly do you know how many rich spoiled kids continue to be rich spoiled adults? Neil working among academic elites surely has encountered those people occasionally.

Ambition may be triggered by struggle, or just general passion about something. But success is heavily hampered by obstacles like poverty. And only luck can counter such enormous forces.

Hard work is just mandatory for anyone but the elite.

Side comment. Not a child of immigrant but grew up in the countryside sorta suburbanish. Parents lectured excessively about money and how hard they had it. It was excessive to the point I worried about money way more then I should have at a young age even though we weren't poor. It was like whenever I wanted to have or do anything my parents would say they didn't have it or do it or other people don't or didn't. I assume their intent was to make me appreciate what I had but it felt like being told don't look at people who have more then you look at people who have less then you. Made me feel like I couldn't have or do certain things and there was nothing I could do to change it. It wasn't about working hard it was just can't do it. Looking back I can see we were middle class but at the time and how my parents acted I thought we were poor. It kinda messed me up in a way. Point is yes teach kids to understand the value of money and appreciate what you have but don't do it to a excessive extend or it could be even worse then not lecturing about money at all. The main thing that still passes me off to this day is I did go to college story short nothing seemed like it was my decision because of money and at the time I had looked for a part time job my whole freshman year so I could move out and have some control in life but couldn't get one so working wasn't a option. Great recession so high unemployment at the time. So....got depressed started doing bad in school and so on...did not become a nurse. I'd like to think if I wasn't so concerned about money to where I felt bad about even asking my parents if they could afford it college could have been a good start for me and things could have gone a lot better. Vs what I have now. So parenting to any extreme on various topics can be bad.

Grown up millennial adult now... but As a kid who was given everything i can say I think its why many of us felt no ambition.

Its caused so much depression and anxiety my whole life wondering what's the point of trying so hard. Life has felt meaningless which leads to more anxiety and a terrible existencial crisis. Being spoiled is not good. Judging by my generations rampant anxiety/depression, Its clear im not alone.

[GreezyKeith]

My ancestors never had that problem. I'm still struggling.

[jorb]

I feel like this explains the different political landscape of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation immigrants
