Resilience is an attribute. Salf-sacrifice for the kids or the home is admirable.
Did you just not make that leap?
are you that short sighted to believe that 'sucking it up for the kids' is really going to be better for the kids in the long run? or do you still believe trickle down economy is gonna save the future?
did you just not make that leap?
"Hey kids, aren't you so proud of your old man? Look at what a shnook he is, breaking his back so his bosses can pad their accounts?"
Self sacrifice? For what? There are no homes, sant even afford to feed ourselves currently. Millennials are the largest working generation and yet the poorest working generation since 1920.
Sure. Every kid needs a parent they never see because they work all day in a minimum wage job
I think that if the kids love their parents, they would want them to be happy, and they would want to be able to see them and spend time with them.
I understand breaking your back to put your kid through college, but if your work-life balance is so bad that you never get to spend any time with them while they're growing up, how much are you actually helping them? That's not even going into the resentment that the parent builds up for all of the sacrifices that they feel they have to make.
I can see where you are at. For those who have kids.
