[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are "haves". They have a fully funded college education, they will be gifted money for their first down payment, they have tutors when they need it, they have music lessons and play an expensive sport, they are bilingual,  they have braces, they have healthy home cooked food every day, they have parents who are home each day by 5pm and everyone eats dinner around the table, they have a large extended family that lives locally, they have nice vacations and have been able to do things like hike the Inca trail and are able to see first hand what they've learned in school, they have a family who models what it means to be a healthy adult, they have access to a great education.

I'm not ashamed my kids are have, nor do I try to make them think thry are not haves. They have opportunities and doors pushed wide open for them to walk right in. We hope they one day step through the thresh hold.

Not to diminish your accomplishments or what you feel you have achieved, but everything you mention is pretty standard stuff and does not make your children “haves” in the sense that OP was intending. To be a “have” ensures that your children will thrive in today’s America totally apart from their own accomplishments, and really requires a seven or eight figure trust fund. [/quote]

Yup. What the .PP describes is just good parenting plus UNC money. Hardly unique.[/quote]

Is hiking the Inca trail that impressive?  I thought every college kid did that.

So all of your children are bilingual (from English only homes), and have hiked the Inca trail?  Mmmkay.[/quote][/quote]

I find it hard to believe you have even traveled,  due to how blatently ignorant you are.

Exhibit C for why Trump is our president. A nation of ifiots like the above.[/quote]

I’m confused. Can you please explain why you believe that post was “blatently” ignorant, or why it has anything to do with Trump?[/quote]

Bless your heart. You poor thing.[/quote]
