Not only should we give our child less of us as they age, we should pay for less of what they want -- until by the time they are an adult they are paying it all! <br /><br />I just posted an article on my facebook... in direct response to my bratty adult niece. She lives with my mother, doesn't pay her rent. Doesn't clean any of the house except the 500 SF bonus room that she considers "hers." (Not even the kitchen when she's used it). She wants my mom to pay her boyfriend to do the yard work. Because, you know, when you're retired and living on your retirement income and social security money grows on trees. And, thinks it would be a good idea if the USA, like Germany, paid college graduates a wage for the first 6-months after they graduated so that they, you know, can get settled. <br /><br />My mom cares for her animals when she is in class, at work or traveling in Europe. My mom is on a 4-day cruise. She just wrote on my mom's fb wall complaining about having to care for my mom's dog without getting paid. Yep. I decided just to post a nasty, non-directed response on my own wall so as not to cause discord. I hope she gets it.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12875561671945374840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-70215533862305927552012-02-16T04:39:25.060-06:002012-02-16T04:39:25.060-06:00Rice and corn are two of my favourite foods.

Look, there are parent's who aren't doing thier kids much of a favor by homeschooling them, but nearly all the kids I've known who were, were square pegs who were pulled out when it was found that school wasn't the best place for them. <br /><br />Schools aren't perfect, either. It should be the needs of the child that take primary consideration.Usethebrains Godgiveyouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05026223483117357541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-84411707587552646712012-02-15T02:13:10.506-06:002012-02-15T02:13:10.506-06:00Woodjie is cute no matter how he sits!Woodjie is cute no matter how he sits!Chris Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03599144462630400401noreply@blogger.com
