Personally, as someone who takes responsibility for my kids in every way, I get sickened by the lack of standards by some parents. I have my own set of books, standards, and activities that are required in my house without regard to what is being taught in school.
But all in all it has Mocks Legend seal of approval.
MFer, do you care to tell us which financial books for kids you recommend? I assume they will pick up decent financial habits because I'm not a complete tard, but I can get behind some additional targeted learning.
I'm not as stringent at home as MF is, but I admire his efforts (and resuls). Mine learned practical things because I have to do everything myself so they had to help. We also make sure to travel at least a few times a year so they have exposure to different things. I can answer 99% of the questions they have off the top of my head, which is an underrated skill. Kids don't talk shit to smart parents. I imagine they are saving their bile for my second childhood. Until then, I am the undisputed champ. If your kids are smarter than you are, you fucked up. You can't regain that advantage. If they are smarter than you are when they are grown, you won.
There is no getting away with being a dumbass at our house. I will ride you like a lame pony at the fair if you show any signs of mental defect.
