A short YouTube monologue (Mark Evans DM) about parenting and family values: the speaker contrasts his upbringing with today’s children, criticizing materialism and instant gratification and emphasizing teaching emotional awareness and valuing accomplishments over simply receiving things.
One thing that's cool now is Mark wants a simulator, a computer that he wants and all this stuff. Airplanes or whatever. Yeah, he really does. So I'm like, Mark, when he gets stuff, what do you want? Because accomplishing it is more enjoyable than getting it right because these kids will get shit and then like five seconds later. So they do this at Christmas and all this. And I hate just buying stuff to buy stuff. It like drives me nuts. So I'm like, Mark, I'm trying to get them aware of feelings and emotions. If you don't get this, how are you going to feel? If you get this, how are you going to like just diving deep and understand like, dude, it's not the end of the world. Their normal is not my normal when I grew up, but it will be. Hopefully there'll be better stewards out of the gate.
