[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does super coddled = rich? If so, they will be fine. Intergenerational wealth does wonders, even if you don’t work particularly hard.[/quote]

You can be rich without being coddled, and you can be coddled without being rich. Think of the kids who are like,  ten years old and refuse to cut their food because they're lazy so their parents do it for them. [/quote]

Ha! My mom still cuts my fruit. She knows I don’t eat the hard to peel fruit.

I also know adults who won’t eat crab because it is too much work. I’m not sure they were coddled or lazy or just don’t like crab. [/quote]

Haha, the crab thing is me! I'll eat crab cakes but don't give me crab legs, I'm not interested in retrieving the meat myself.

I'm one of four kids, grew up working class, and the opposite of coddled -- I started earning my own money at 14 and actually struggle to ask people for help when I need it because self-reliance was so heavily emphasized in my home growing up. Maybe one of the reasons why I don't like crab legs is that I'm tired and if I'm going to pay a premium for food, I want it to be easy to consume.[/quote]
