You can't keep mowing down challenges for your kids that's how they grow
Don’t blame the kids, blame the parents!
That's hitting the hammer on the nail without even looking Steve
I think that one of the biggest problems in America is, parents want to be friends or cool with the children.
Yes it is. It's embarrassing. Then they wonder why they have problems later on with the child not respecting them as an authority figure.
bring back capital punishment
That is so true!! I tell my kids all the time "we cool but we not that cool bc i'm not one of your friends i'm your momma"....
@@shermanepittman6989 Yup ! And don't care how cool your friends are. I'll be friendly but, that's it.
Not just in America....South Africa too. Strict children and obedient parents
Lol! That lawnmower story
I know that’s right Steve
*steve is one of the wisest MANS ever*
Hood makes you wise...
That is the african ancestors wisdom running in his mind
Yes sir
👍👏👏👏👏👏👏
Wisest? Mans?
This is one reason why this world is like it is. Disgust me.
Parents... STOP. Let your children Learn & stop disabling their future.
Everyone ask~what’s wrong with these kids today? It’s NOT the kids its the PARENTS!
Trust me I'm 15 and I know what Steve is talking about way too much
Trust you? At 15? Haha
@@randalldandy
1) you don't know my familial situation, where or how I live and my mental state.
2) i wrote that 2 years ago, I'm not 15.
3) I still agree with my statement
Im 17 trust me i know
Yes yes, do MORE of this and air it on TV not just the tube please please please
It is on they air
That wouldn't give the child any space for growth and experience!
Love u Steve, I met kids who have parents like that, they are totally unprepared when they get to the real world
So true!!!! I’m guilty of this....been a single mom and worked, worked, worked because my son has juvenile diabetes. I can so relate!!! Diabetes isn’t cheap and exhausted all the time!
“That’s called learning” 😂😂😂💀💀
That lawn mower took me back to 1993 1994 at my grandparents house. Love it.
I will not buy my 3 children a phone. And my son who is 11. In 6th grade said he's the only one without a phone. I said SO!
A R i didnt get a phone til i was a junior in high school and it was a sucky phone for emergencies lol
So glad I saw this comment. My 11 year old is sitting here with me. He said glad to know I'm not the only one! 😂😂 I said nope you're not! ☺
Neither am I and I'm going to keep it that way. They can contact me and their father for emergency purposes like I contacted my parents for emergency purposes... THE HOUSE PHONE. 😂
I didn't give my daughter one until she was 17. I didn't even have one; I wasn't about to buy her one.
Get them a phone. You don't know what could happen to them. That phone may save their life just give them a time, to be on their phone each day.
Some day, I won't catch my child when they fall, but I will soften their landing.
These kids will never understand learning from your failures
I'm close to Steve's age and I remember having to use that push mower to cut our grass and rake and pick up, it wasn't until later that I did find out that you "could" buy an attachment that would catch the grass, it was like a basket on the back that attached to the lawnmower, but we didn't have that, I was the grass catcher, just like Steve.
THE KIDS ARE OUT OF HAND BECAUSE OF THE PARENTS ALLOW A BUNCH OF BULL THATS ALL BIT TO MUCH LEARNING IS SOMETHING WE ALL GOT TO DO THAT TO MUCH HAND HOLDING HELP THE LORD
Lol I love it when he uses his kids as an example. You would think they're rich, what do they know but Steve keeps it real. I always imagine his rich kids looking at him, like whaaaaat....
Lawnmower without a motor? What's that was the response I got. So I borrowed one and made her use it. I had to give it back because her doctor told me that was what was kicking off her asthma. She still mowed the lawn, but with the riding mower. I used the push one. LOL I loved it when she said, in front of my mother, "Mom, can you wash this black shirt for me?" My mother said, "NO! You get yourself in there and learn how to use the washer and the dryer and do it yourself." Guess what, she did just what grandma said too. LOL She now helps me with the laundry because I have dropped more on the floor than into the washer. Old age does have its perks after all.
Today's kids are soft and really don't know how to manuever life. I came from a time where you did the dishes, mowed grass, helped around the house. No cell phones, the only electronic toy I had was an easy bake oven. When these people become adults, they do not know how to handle life's situations.
I really love this sweet heart man
I didn’t have a manual push mower but, my dad did have the one where u have to pull the handle and start it up.
I always had to cut the grass.
Even in the winter, I shuffled snow.
Amen Mr. Harvey! Multiply that by ten lawns.
These days, parents will do everything in their power to make sure their kids are happy [to the point of being spoiled & pampered] and let the child walk over them like a doormat, but they are too scared to do more than take away their phone, remote control, laptop, computer/video games and sit in the corner for 15 minutes of quiet time out to discipline those children. I mean you need to do some REAL OLD SCHOOL discipline!!!
They barely even take stuff from them. If they do it’s just for that day. 🤦🏽♀️ Then some of them expect other ppl to parent they child.
Lol “I ate a couple sandwiches!”😂 😂 😂 fr!! All straight face in the kitchen ready prepping your mind for work 😂
Teach them Steve Harvey
i remmber those push more back n the60s
🤣😂🤣 i was the bag
yeah Steve I remember those old lawn mowers fifties and sixties we had one
All my children learnt from young age how to do things themselves.
Amen!!!
I did push the button. STEVE!!! 😂
Thank you Lord steve finally talks about this god damn problem.
🤗Love that explenation of cutting gras
Kids are babied nowadays
I STILL use a push mower!! I hate a riding mower! My kids hate mowing, but by gosh! I did it, they'll be JUST fine!!
You've got to be kidding me!!!

"Expensive water bottle"
Hydro flask
American parents are a trip😒
hey Mr.Steve thank you so much for guiding us in life ,thank you for helping see pictures that god is showing us but we don't see them.thank you for all your time u take to teach how to play this game called life.
Murica!
We love you Steve. Everybody want to say that male athlete competing in women's sports is courageous and inspiring. No that is cowardly. Steve came from nothing and made himself into a BIG someone. No scandals off set. Family man. God mama and Apple pie. Good old fashion values.
Omg I will be innLA on the 8th and I need to be in the audience for the taping .. my ticket is still pending. Please reserve my ticket. Pleaaaase!!!
Some of these examples sounds familiar😂😂😂😂
Ain't it so!
These kids got it made these days. Steve not lying we had push the lawn more We had drinks the school water .
Funniest dude alive
SAN ANTONIO TEXAS 1962 TO 1973!. kids today don't do anything adventurous!. I was climbing trees, catching bats, horny toads, worms, bugs, roller skates with the key,
stingray bicycle, bat kite with spool of string large as a cantelope, train set, model cars, build a go kart, Garcia fishing pole, bamboo fishing pole,
little league baseball, catchers mitt, Football and baseball season passes for 20 years, boating trips, mobile library, Freeman Coliseum rodeo
and fair.
Skipper Nelson - some still do some of those things you listed. It's up to the parents to make it possible.
I do these things.
How do they expect their Kids to learn anything???
And we drunk from those nasty water fountains in school as well, and they were nasty.
My mama come get me from school, but as soon as we cross that little metal bar that crosses the bottom of the from door, she be whooping my ass across the parking lot, in the car, in the driveway, into the house, into my bedroom. She ain't playin.
💞💯👍👍👍
Steve have you ever had your boy's cutting grass?
Blowing on your child's food for them!? Are you kidding me! That is the most ludicrous thing I've heard. How on Earth can you expect to raise strong, independent kids if they can even blow on their own damn food! I mean jeeze if they can't even do that how will they deal with a break up or being fired/made redundant etc. Or the eventual reality of losing loved ones! Gosh people cannot seriously expect to raise emotionally/mentally independent people by doing every dang thing for them!
Mine burn every day Steve coz I like hot food😂
Y'all had push mowers? We used a slasher to slash the grass.
I can relate to the water bottle. Nah, my Childrens fountain is rusted or calcified. Nah.
This explains a lot,I mean not a lot of the generations of kids now a days do like you do,fail giving the proper title am I rigth
It’s not the kids fault!
It’s the parents who are creating this!
Not even the wise ! Which is true but we are missing this , because of the Times We n!! Economy , TV etc alot we miss Traditions
Lawnmower Parenting.;Sounds like a motor running all over the child.Just approving for the child not to Think for themselves.Foolish..as hell..
My sister did that with her son
My parents do this for me it’s annoying
My daughter married a guy who didn't know how to cut grass with a push mower that at least had a gas motor . He just said he would pay someone to cut the grass.
What do you call parents who do everything in the power tp bring their kids down
Soft kids makes neurotic adults! I had to mow the lawn, rake, bag it up AND trim the hedges
Let me guess these are mom's doing this for their kids.
I couldn't get anybody to blow on my kid's food if I had any. They could get sick.
All those parents need a job and hobby
Because to many parents are babying their kids & wonder why they can’t do for theirselves or they failing classes.
Most of those parents are probably rich
When old people "brag" about hard they had to work back in their day and say the new generation has it so easy as if that's a bad thing.. What they fail to realize is that it's better and alot of times more productive to work smarter rather than harder
Hi hi 👋
Hey
It's moved beyond lawnmower parents. It has turned into bulldozer parenting. Parents calling into school to reprimand a teacher for not giving their kid an A, even though their child didn't earn an A, because mom has money saving up to send that kid to the fancy school but only if they get all A's in class... BUT it's not the child's fault. nooooooo..... It's the teacher's fault for not awarding the child to the parent's expectations. It is in all aspects of parenting too, not just school:
- Kid doesn't want to eat what the rest of the family eats, so they get their own plate of specially made food because mommy can't bring herself to tell the child about the starving people in Africa (i always had 2 choices for supper, take it or leave it for breakfast).
- Kid isn't allowed to play outside with friends because the momma has to protect the child from every possible bad thing that might happen from scraped knee to bullying - without realizing hat kids are more socialized by their social sphere than their parents and will be socially stunted if they can't interact with people their own age.
A lot of people think, "Spare the rod, spoil the child" only applies to spankings, but the reality is that too many parents won't let their kid take 2 steps if it's uphill and bumpy (metaphorically speaking). But like Steve said, that burned part on the top of your mouth is a reminder to blow on your own damned food. Parents like this raise useless adults that are hypersensitive and emotionally brittle, who actually think the world needs to care about their feelings... only to realize that no one cares about your feelings EXCEPT your parents.
THEN they go into universities and need safe spaces and cry closets, take courses that show them how everything in the world is weighing down on them so being a victim is only a natural conclusion to their coddled lives. What's worse is that most of these courses will never result in a gainful career and are technically not academic (even though they have journals and research and the like). So not only are the kids learning how to be victims, they're not going to benefit from their courses, and then when they get out into the real world they realize the only way they've ever known how to get what they want is by having a fit and someone coming to their rescue - and when those "heroes" aren't around the world is suddenly filled with sharp, deep-cutting realities that almost FORCE these kids to daydream about a world where everything is fair and gentle and safe instead of the reality they were sheltered from, which is rarely fair, never gentle, and never offers guaranteed safety.

Steve is so hot
Likeit
Don't do for your child what they can do for themselves. If you do, you are sending the message that the child is too stupid to do for themselves.
parents need to understand that being cool with ur kids is fine but being overfriendly blurs the line of authority and that is never a good idea. kids need to know who the final authority is and learn to respect that. if u become too friendly with ur kids they ain't never gonna respect u, they will get what they want when they want and will become stubborn, needy, selfish and in the end uncaring
Thank god I don't have kids.
Nice beard
I know Steve is presenting this as comedy and wisdom...and THIS type of parenting is one of the reasons we have so many more school kids committing suicide. The parents are NOT doing their job and TEACHING the children HOW to function and have problem resolving skills ...& when life kicks them in the teeth --- & we ALL know it will...it creates grave consequences. These parents are NOT doing their kids any favors. Life is a hard business and Life Skills is what kids néed...not their molly coddling.
1:12 bottom right, she cute
The last part seems to me to be a bit dumb. If the kids don't know how to use the current lawnmower in their house, then they have no skills... But if its outdated, why do they need to know it? Let me put it this way, how many of us today knows how to sew finely without a sewing machine, change a ribbon on a typewriter, or even use a ditto machine?
Uhh I had to use the same push mower watchu talking bout
@@AttonBrown was that the current lawn mower in your house?
@@jemmaleda2426 no we had a regular gas mower and the push mower Steve is talking about. I was made to use the push mower. Also, my sister Was taught to sew with and without a machine. It's not that crazy
@@AttonBrown never said it was. I did say that whatever is in your house, you should be able to use. If it's there and you dont know, that means someone else is doing it for you and you are lazy
@@AttonBrown and may i ask which generation are you?
First liked 👍
