What a wild wacky day today

I got up this morning to a semi-sane day but then all of a sudden it changed on me!

My daughter is a severe diabetic and is at the beach in another state sick. She has strep throat which has run her sugar sky high. Due to circumstances beyond her control she is also out of money and has to feed herself and our two grandchildren until the couple she is with comes home on Sunday. So I caved in and sent her money. I'm very concerned about her sugar because it has a tendency to bounce up and down when she's sick. Often to the point of being hospitalized. Not a good thing when you are miles and miles away from home & family.

We are raising our grandchild by our son who is very irresponsible now. He just got fired from a high paying job. He's going to be drawing unemployment when it starts but in the meantime his utilities are being turned off and his child support is behind by a month and a half. Today he called to ask me if he could borrow money to keep his power on. Some days it seems I live in a world of unbelief.

My husband and I never had the opportunity to be irresponsible. From the time we married we've had children to raise, bills to pay, vacations to put off and jobs to keep at all costs.

Is this a symptom of a generation of people who have greater needs than is normal? There are more lazy grown children living with parents now than ever before. There are more parents killing, abusing or neglecting their young than ever before. There are more people who abuse drugs, alcohol or sex now than ever before. Have we lost a generation? And if you believe so then what will happen to our nation when that generation is the ones making laws, leading our government or being role models for the next upcoming generation?

I'm interested in your thoughts.
