It was graduation day and Mom was trying to take a picture of their son in a cap and gown, posed with his father. “Let’s try to make this look natural” she said. “Junior, put your arm around your dad’s shoulder.” The father answered, “If you want it to look natural, why not have him put his hand in my pocket?”
The parents of a Northwestern student who just headed back from holiday received this letter: Dear Mom and Dad: Univer$ity life i$ $o wonderful! Cla$$e$ and $e$$ion are intere$ting, my cla$$mate$ are the be$t! But after $pending all my ca$h on Chri$tma$ pre$ent$, I am in a little need for $ome $pending money for book$ and $uch. But I don’t want to $end the wrong $ignal$ home.
Love
Your $on
Teach your kids how to work hard and responsibly manage their own money. It may be “unfair” while they watch their friends have everything handed to them, but in the end, any other treatment would be a disservice. It’s a lot easier to learn the value of hard work and the benefits of financial responsibility when they’re six instead of 26.
Plus, the relationship you share with your kids when they are young adults will be drastically different depending on their level of dependence on you.
