I actually just posted a link to that video on MY facebook page, so that it can continue to spread.
I was raised in the generation that if you misbehaved or talked back to your parents you got your ass whipped. You learned to respect your parents. You did your chores because learning how to do your chores helped teach you responsibility. If I didn't go out and feed the dog, he didn't get to eat. Then MY next meal went to feed the dog while I went hungry that night. If I didn't take the trash out every other day to the burn barrel, I was liable to wake up with it in my bed. (That only has to happen once!)
She's complaining about being so tired that she has to go to bed at 10 PM so she can get up at 5 AM. Hey, princess, welcome to THE REAL WORLD! When I worked at the car plant on day shift, I was up NLT 5AM every day, because that production line started at 0630, we got a 10 minute break at 0830, lunch from 1030 till 1100, 10 minute break at 1300, and the line shut down at 1500. (3 pm) IF we didn't have to work overtime - then we'd work right up until 2nd shift started at 1630. My wife right now leaves for work at 6 PM, and doesn't get home until 8 AM - sleep a bit, see me for 20 minutes in the afternoon, rinse, repeat, since I work now from 8 till 5. And she's working 6 days a week, pulling down overtime like crazy because it's available and we need a new roof on the house.
Sympathy for the daughter? Not from this grandfather.
