WOW - Maggot - 09-05-2021
Last week I gave my Daughter 200.00 cash to go to College with. She has a car her food is paid her books and she has a gas card. This weekend she came home and said she needed more money.
I fucking just laughed and read her the riot act. I'm NOT giving her 200 a week. I said maybe 40 but that's it! WOW
The Professor laughed. She knows me.

My kids too. I sometimes give them money behind my husband's back. If he knew he'd have a shit fit. What, they're my babies.

Money doesn't buy love, unless you're in Vegas.

Money buys happiness unless you're dying. I'd rather be depressed and wealthy than depressed and broke. At least if you have money you can afford to go to vegas.

That's all good and fancy and everything but this will give her a chance to do a budget that in the future will help her more than harm. If it's not enough and she can give me good reason why it's not I might bend but an Oak tree doesn't bend easily.
If you give your children an easy life you are not really preparing them for the future. I will not burden them with an "easy" life.

It's good for her to learn how to lobby her parents, that's how I started. If there was something I wanted I had to be able to present my case and it damn well hadn't better be bullshit. The very first thing I can remember lobbying for was to go to public school. Not kidding at all. I presented my case and I won. Good bye, nuns.

Dont get me wrong, my kids have to work for a living. My husband wouldn't even let my son get out of work while he had covid. I'm the more generous one with the money though, I just give in. I'm a sucker.
