I don't beleive that is true across the boards. My father did not fail me!!! He challenged me! I learned all I could from him and it made me want to know more!! I can see him sitting there with a cup of coffee when I was a young boy. Something was broken. I'd ask him to help me. Sure, no problem, I'll tell you what you need to know pick up the wrench. I'd do all the work, he would instruct. My Father is my hero. My Dad gave me the ability to be a Jack of all trades. If you want to do it...you can.
I know I am not the only one in my generation. There are alot of us. Now I have almost no family contact since my Dad passed away from cancer. My wife and I are on our own rasing my daughter. I am proud, damned proud of us. We have no debt other than our mortgage, we both work, we make hay in the summer to feed our beef and sell the excess. I do some custom work on the side. My wife supports me by helping with hay, keeping a nice home, loving me and my Daughter and going to her job. We are a team 50/50 to get 100% of the job done. It all goes into one pot and goes out to keep the home running.
Just for reference, I am 42 and my wife is 40.
On the horizon, I am friendly with a 21 year old that has his head screwed on straight. I see all the same drive in him as I see in myself. I don't believe the entire thing is in the dumps. I do believe there are hard working ambitious people out there that can honor the drive and spirit of the old farmer's that had to do it all the hard way.
