Are we raising a generation of non-capable boys in this country? I use the word capable because it closely describes the type of men I'm talking about. I consider myself to be a capable guy. I can do most anything, or perform most tasks I am asked of. Not an expert, but a general set of skills. I know a lot of the guys on this site are the type I'm talking about. Like me, you can do a lot of different things. It seems the generation growing up now have no interest in learning how to do things. They aren't interested in anything that requires actual work. I have no children of my own, but my wife has two. ages 29 and 30. One is a computer repair geek and can't even maintain a car. The other one lives at the farm, but has no interest in learning how to run the equipment of do any chores. I have told him he needs to come out when we are making hay and learn how to run the tractors and mowers, balers, etc. He will help out if asked, but won't volunteer. He likes to sit in the house and play video games and watch movies on his computer. As time goes by, we have less and less family interested in the farm. I don't know what will happen in the future when we get older and really need the help.
