Thanks PinkA~
Well..... I know what you mean about telling your folks~
I probably WILL NOT tell my Mom (Dad is deceased)~ for the simple reason that both my brother and sister filed, and my mom talks so negative on them....I tried not to say anything about their plights when she would say what she thought about their troubles....because I knew that's where I was headed too....but I don't dare tell her because I just couldn't stand her to critique me....again...as she did when I was a kid....
I have raised my children so different than the way my folks raised me~
not saying that I did it better or right....there's NO such thing as a perfect parent OR a perfect child, but my parents were SOOO rigid with us, and you just felt like such a failure for the slightest thing...... I hated them for it when I was young~ Have tried to release that hatred, and for the most part, I have~ my dad was the hardest...he could be such a butthead~ but I still love them anyway~ I know they did the best that they thought they could for what they had to deal with......
But I DO see issues that all of us kids have because they didn't "show us how to do certain things" ...such as buy a car, buy a home, how to handle a checking account....etc etc....
that's not to say that even if they had showed us how to do those things that we would have done it better...it is a personal choice thing...I know this because I HAVE taken the time to show my kids how to buy a house, car, and keep a checking account....and look what's happened to me/ and now my son....
but it sure would've helped...I just felt like I was always "in the way" when I was a kid.....so I don't tell my mom much that's happening in my financial life~
I DON'T want my kids to do that to me...I want them to know that they can come to me with ANYTHING.....NOTHING stops this Momma's LOVE...NOTHING!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for listening!!!!!
