I read a lot. A few years back I got into reading about the people who came over and settled Massachusetts.
It opened my eyes as to how the families taught each other how to make a living, and the boys were taught at an early age to build a house! They, alongside of their fathers chopped down huge trees and prepared the land, which had never been more than a forest. They removed boulders, removed stumps, plowed and leveled and built a home, at ages of 8, 9, 10 on up to such young ages.
They would never have thought to be so irreverent to their very bloodline relatives, but instead were thankful for a man showing them how to survive in life, and well.
This boy at 18 not only shows no love but if he was really serious would’ve buckled down and learned something YEARS before the ripe age of 18. He’s an ingrate. Probably would waste any money or attempts to educate him, because up till now he hasn’t already learned the people who housed him, fed him, loved him, already were there for him.
“This boy” is a girl.
