How do i keep my son from becoming a snowflake?

Motivate him with inspiration and nurture his desire to achieve his potential. I'm not quite sure how to do that though, sorry, lol.

He will have to make his own mistakes.

We all did pretty much the same thing, yet everyone thinks crap like "We knew we had to work hard for what we wanted". Oh bullshit. Most every kid has an entitlement attitude. It is because kids do not know what the real world is like yet.
I hear people MY age (40's) talking about how we didn't feel entitled. BULLshit. We were just as bad, as are the millenials, and so wil be your child's generation until they get old enough to know better.

You could tell him some form of what you just typed here. Just be upfront about it. Of course, you'll have to set an example that goes along with whatever you teach him.

Children tend to lose respect for hypocritical adults. It seems like you're on the right track rn though, just by holding him accountable.

Whining to the top isn't reasonably possible. Most of us learn that at some point, when is the question.

Cost of living has increased. It's cheaper and easier to stay with the parents until enough is saved up to get a proper place. Anyway purchasing the first car is more important than renting an apartment. Parents don't mind either so win-win.

We all have to suffer in life. Manager of a shop told me school leavers are just going off sick all the time with everyday ailments and not able to cope with a full day's work. It's actually kinder to be strict with kids, because once they go out into the world on their own it will make it a lot easier. Discipline and manners were drummed into me from an early age and no crying unless someone died. All material possessions had to be earned. I think you are being a responsible parent.

Kids/teenagers tend to be brats regardless of generations nothing can stop that unless you want to shelter them but that creates other issues.

Always be the bastion of understanding. Naturally as a father your kid is going to think you know everything. You don't have to bullshit him but be the foundation for morals and logical thinking. Snowflakes feed off of emotional as arguement, make your child know that facts beat logic. Most importantly keep watch when your child is going through school. The teachers probably will be nudging them into their way of thinking.

Grow him up in tge country, have him build fences and shit, that's along the lines of my mine and my siblings raising, one has severe anger issues, the other drug problems and I'm a tranny. So I mean overall me and my sis are pretty solid like what your looking for, maybe my fam isn't best example but point being raise on a farm don't get them a phone. If they want one they can save and buy one from straight talk. And don't give an allowance for just doing dishes and taking garbage out n shit. Make them earn it. Don't spoil the kid, make them be self reliant and crap

Lead by example.

If you preach, and push him too hard you just might turn him into a snowflake. I'm not saying that to be a bitch I'm just saying that you catch more flies with sugar than you do with vinegar. Also, make sure that you set a good example yourself for your child! Always admit your mistakes, and apologize when you have screwed up especially if it's concerning your child.

Pancakes.

A bullet to the brain.

Cryostasis.

With a belt.

Don’t freeze him.
