Parenting Lesson #4671 - Don't give your kids adult problems to deal with

Trust me, they will want to help. After all, what kid doesn't want to help their parent.

But saddling your kid with adult problems (bills, sex, etc) forces them to grow up too fast. It steals their childhood from them.

This is why you shouldn't discuss finances in front of your kids, or discuss marital problems, or really - - anything that isn't a kids issue

4. I must admit however, that I resented my mother for it, and still do. Since she was not fair about it.
I mean, it makes sense to make a kid pay for things, particularly with money they get from people, but to cheat them out of it, and if the kid can do math properly, it just breeds bad feelings.

As for Tavs,

That one shocked me.  What does that look like?  "Say kid, last night I had a minor problem.  Know anything about those little blue pills?

Taverner's kids will each need a copy of this:




Far from being a book about children who are intellectually advanced, it's about kids who have to cope with the damage done to them by shitty, unprepared, abusive, selfish, addicted people like Kregel.

Poor kids.
