    Parents, at least the responsible ones, should never do without to give their Kids “Everything they want”. You simply give kids what they need. Food , clothes, shelter,and most of all “Love”. Love can mean saying No.
    Teach them to WORK for the WANTS!!!
    Just provide the needs, or you will have a thirty year old sitting at home breaking the bank!

    To mnon…….I’m old. What’s your point? Do you think that when you get old you can’t or don’t want to live life to it’s fullest? My husband and I enjoy our Corvette convertible, raceboat, getaway vacations,spoiling grandkids, etc., probably more than when we were younger. Life is for the living whether you are young or old. “WE AIN’T DEAD YET”! Be kind to us old folks….you’ll be there one day. Way to go, Mr. Lind! Enjoy your life…(You’re still younger than you think)
