[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 713490, member: 1550"] They had to have jobs, adad. We dont have extra money and they knew that if they didnt work they wouldnt have. They worked even for their part of the car insurance on our car. No big presents from us...we lived paycheck to the next. This lack of wealth yet with loving parents helped shape their work ethics. I am often grateful we couldnt afford to get them cars, fancy name brand clothes or an all paid for college education. I truly brlieve you only appreciate and feel protective of what YOU work for. Making life too easy for our kids in my opinion makes lazy adult kids who know the parents can afford to buy his toys, pay his rent, etc. If they get too much, they seem to expect it. How many of our adult children on this forum wrecked the cars we gave them? Or paid to fix? The apartments for them that were paid for? How many blew off their college educations that parents paid for 100%? Even a few destroyed houses bought for them. Notbonly that, but many abuse the parents because they stop the freebies. People dont appreciate gifts like if they receive gifts from their own hard work. I totally believe this. My kids have no such illusions about getting pricey gifts and work hard, like WE always did. They are not entitled. Even Bart pays his own way, except for his court case in which ex is helping him. No...i do not have a problem getting them to work. Never did. They had to work. And it paid off. No, I never had sny problem getting them to work. My kids are not perfect but none are lazy or entitled. Even Bart works very hard. [/QUOTE]
