I already know that what you wrote is true in many "underdeveloped" nations, but it is always helpful to read eyewitness accounts.

I think the premise of my post was pretty much me just dabbling in a fantasy where the kids appreciate what they have AND I have a lot of resources at hand.<br /><br />Obviously our kids are in such a position because of our own institutions, creations and societal influences.
