Some Parents Shouldn’t Have Kids
Recently, I keep coming across kids from well-to-do families but are given such miserly allowance so much so that they have to work part-time or scrimp and save. What in the blue hell is up with that?
Let’s dissect this.
One probable reason is that a lot of rich parents have this unquestioned fear that if they give enough money to their children, they will somehow become spoilt and bratty. That is not true. Teach the child how to spend his money. Proper education is the solution, not planting a scarcity mentality.
Another reason is selfishness. A lot of people are selfish, and that includes parents. Many parents are selfish in giving their children not just money, but also love, care and support. Even parents have this illusion that They are They, and Their Children is Their Children. Once again, the human Ego.
In the grand scheme of things, money is not important. Becoming more conscious is. Planting the sense of lack in children will just add another distraction called ‘money’ into their path.
Thanks for listening,
Roy
