Two Things...

So, just for today I need the answer's to two things:

1. Why do you children think that their life is full of so much more work and hardship than their parents and that the parents are lazy and taking advantage of them?  (Especially during the summer and longer school vacations.)
2. How in the world do you explain to teenagers that a work day/week + commute can be exhausting and that taxiing them everywhere is not restful - it too is work? And that as the person bringing in the money they so willingly spend, if I want to relax, I am going to and do it however I see fit.
