My parents ALWAYS worked hard and took care of us the best they could.
They did a good job. And we did the same for our kids.
“It’s not so much about being thankful when you’re young, it’s not knowing how the world operates. My job as a kid was to work hard in school and do some chores.....and be respectful.”
BINGO! That’s all my parents asked for. Keep up your grades, graduate, get out of the house when you’re 18 and dont get any girl pregnant before you hit 25 and dont get a criminal record. (that’s what my dad told me)
Gratitude. Never asked them for money after high school and I paid for their cars and mortgage after graduating from Stanford.
