Papa has done some great things for us. I'm awkward about this last zinger. It's a great zinger and a first timer for us. We'd like to know that it is a permanent zinger for a while, as we don't have confirmation on it. Everything changed this year, and it's just not clear as to how much it's changed.
While we are enjoying being stunned, our kids have no clue. As they should be adding to the family good stuff, they are not, and have never had a mind to do so.
I guess that's weird for me because in my childhood family. We all wanted something successful in our lives. With a dad who insisted we do it without higher education. Steven's family did and they actually got it, no one left out. Even the negative happenings didn't affect the family good stuff, because they were launched. Steven having self-launched painfully alone. It took him 27 years, but he launched himself.
So though we were never launched, but rather surprised by instant poverty, we still managed to overcome those huge hurdles. Our kids did not. Wanting to be great at something they like happened, but the payment for their efforts was not important. Yes, they want more than they have, but are nauseated by getting rewarded by the cash they need to survive well. It doesn't last.
So here we are, able to help them in a year's time or less, but how to do that when they don't care about income? That's the dilemma. If we gave our son a down payment toward living space that would be his, will he actually do his part to keep the space?
And with daughter, if we funded her massage school, would she get through the course or quit in an angry fit of rules, rules, rules.
Or should we just leave it as a surprise for after we are gone and just not see what they do with it?
Jesus, wisdom, please.
