I don't feel entitled to anything. As the rules and law read at this time I can hold my children back if I so choose to do so, as can you. It just so happens my reasons have nothing to do with sports, however, if it were simply for sports it would make no difference. What I have a hard time understanding is in the world we live it, we you and I along with all others in the working class are paying for everything occurring in this country. Rather then gripping about your money paying for Obama phones, or paying for food stamps for a person who is more then able to work, or disability for someone who is not disabled, you are choosing to grip about reinvesting in our youth. One of my kids are born in the month of July the other the end of April. One will graduate at 18 by about a month may be less depending on the whether that year. The other will turn 18 1 month prior to entering college. I do not like the idea of my GIRLS gong away from home at this age. As seniors my kids will be 18 the age that they should be. One will be 19 a month before graduation the other shortly after. I see no problem with this. I would much rather lobby over far more long term issues such as those listed above because truthfully, as tax payers we would spend far less holding every kid that passes through the state of ky back one year then we will by paying for phones, food, med care, etc. at least this way we are reinvesting in our kids not he other. Again this is only my opinion and my reasoning for my decision. If you respectfully disagree then that's more then ok, that's why we live in his great nation so we have the opportunity to independently make decisions we find best for our kids. Because in the end everyone here wants what is best for their kid and who knows their kids better then the parent!
