Are we raising a culture of losers? (no pictures)

The other day the daughter calls the mom and tells her, the gloves she has aren't warm enough. How do I know what the call was about?

Because I hear the mom say, "I'll go to REI after work, buy you gloves and FedEx them to you. You should have them tomorrow".

What the hell is going on in America? When I was that age, if I told my parents my hands were cold, they would say "go buy warmer gloves".

So here are ysr_racer's rules for being a loser. If any of the following apply to you, guess what, loooooser !!

Your mom makes your meals
Your mom does your laundry
Your mom is your best friend
You still live at home
You talk to your mom every day

America is in sad shape.

I'm wondering if this is the reason we see so many mass shootings by 20 year old kids, they can't function in the real world.

1:My mother and I speak daily because of her health, the fact that she lives 130 miles away and plain and simple, I love her.
2:My mother is also one of my best friends.
3: if that makes me a loser in your opinion....**** you, I bet I make more than you do you ****ing ignorant douchebag.

I bet your mom hates you.

I imagine the op either
A.) Made this post to get a rise out of folks, which he has accomplished
B.) Woke up on the wrong side of the bed, and now realizes the post he made was inconsiderate and rather silly
or
C.) At least understands a lot of people aren't exactly happy with him for saying what he said.

And, with that being said, I do believe the thread has run its course. You're all grown men (and women) who can do what they please. But, nothing would make me happier than to just watch this thread die.

Toodles.
