Whenever my kids would come crying to me telling me they were hurt, my first question was, is it bleeding? they said, no, I told him to suck it up and pay attention next time lol. It’s amazing how things have changed in just a few generations.
My kids tell me I am a terrible parent for saying the same thing.
My mother (who only considered taking me to the doctor for stitches or broken bones & even then didn't some of the timr) now gives my kids bandaids for every single boo-boo. It drives me nuts, I figure she raised me right & when they come back from visits with her I tell them she is too old to make them tough like me LOL
My generation
Me: "my ankle hurts"
Grandfather: punches me in the shoulder
Me: "oww"
Grandfather: "bet your ankle doesn't hurt anymore"
// Anyway current day has gone beyond that first option now
They've already been bought everything and are crying anyway.
I fell 20ish ft out of a tree as a teen, my friends raced to my house to get my mom. She told them to tell me to stop whining & go have fun.
Younger generations just don't understand how tough they can be if given the chance.
