I like to watch House Hunters. I am constantly amazed at the young couples who want things in a million+ house on a $150,000 budget. Don’t they know any better?
Dr. Spock did such damage years ago telling mothers to give the kids whatever they wanted whenever they wanted it.
Did you see the thread the other day about the two kids who were suing their mother for bad mothering. One of their complaints: she didn’t always give them money in their birthday cards. Another complaint, she didn’t send them care packages when they were in college.
I’m reminded of the father who used to say: “I am not here to entertain you. I am here to put a roof over your head and to feed you until you are 21.”
