[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think what hurts kids is not that they can’t have everything they want. It’s not even trying to help them what matters. That’s what I remember from my youth. My parents didn’t give me a single dime after I turned 18, mostly my mother’s idea. Have they told me - we don’t have much (which I knew) but here is $1000 - I would not want for more and my feelings for them would have been different [/quote] Yep. You cannot love someone and nit help them when you can. Love is an action word. My parents did not have much to give, but it was pretty clear that they gave a lot. If I had parents making 400k a year and offering exactly what my parents making 120k were offering without any reasonable explanation, I would not have felt loved. Sit with your children, explain why you think less is more and check in often/ make adjustments when they are needed.[/quote]
