Parenting Heahache

I think it's tough being a parent nowadays. How do you give advice to your kids when it just doesn't work anymore in this real world??

how can we tell them:

1. DON'T ACCEPT FOOD FROM STRANGERS...
when we actually order food from a stranger(hawkers, restuarant, stewardess!!) everyday.

2. STUDY HARD, GET YOUR DEGREE AND MAKE LOTS OF MONEY...
when some hawkers make more money than us.

3. DONT TALK WHILE YOU EAT...
when we talk at business lunches.

4. YOU ARE A MASTER OF YOUR OWN DESTINY...
when we place our lives in others' hands when we travel(be it in bus, trains, cab or even taking the PLANE!!).

WAHAHAHA!!
...the irony of this world...
