[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She just doesn't have the long-term mindset yet to appreciate your real rationale. I would stick to near-term benefits. "We can pay for your riding lessons, and we spend so much less time on cleaning the house."[/quote] Op hers. I did try that and she said “well their parents have to pay for that too” and I think that’s how she surmised we don’t make much money. I have no issue letting her think that from an ego perspective, but I never want her to feel any type of financial insecurity from us. DH and I have both been through that (probably why we are the way we are with the house) and know how awful that feeling is. Worth noting, she has many school friends whose houses are less “nice” than ours and that’s never once come up. [/quote]
