"So true."
Daughters can be little vipers, and the worst part is, you raised them yourselves, so you can’t blame her behavior entirely on a poor upbringing. At least, not without indicting yourself.
And I thought I was a bad parent. I never....
Funny joke. But allowing adult children to discover their own beliefs is actually more loving. Loving unconditionally is much harder than only loving exactly what you want.
Sad, but this Participation Trophy generation believes in a free lunch as provided by those who tout socialism as the answer. Perhaps 6 months in Venezuela might help them understand how socialism works.
Thanks for the chuckle - I needed it!
I told my middle child I would love them unconditionally unless they voted for my enslavement.
A funny look followed. “How?”
“Who do you think pays for all the free stuff these politicians promise? Your father and I do. We are debt slaves to the political establishment!”
A thoughtful look followed. “What about the rich?”
“Honey, we are in the highest tax bracket. We are the rich!”
A confused look followed. “But we’re not rich.”
“Tell that to the politicians promising free stuff.”
A horrified look followed and the conversation ended.
Hopefully, when they go into the voting booth in November for the first time, they will remember my warning and vote accordingly. Otherwise, they can move out and foot the bill themselves.
