Welp, things I’ve learned since posting about my oldest son acting like an entitled brat… apparently holding your kids accountable makes some people BIG mad. 😂
So let me explain the “entitled” part since some of y’all are struggling. He was told the bus seat fine could be UP TO $350 and his response was basically, “that’s fine.” Meaning mommy and daddy will pay it so who cares.
Yeah… no. Not in this house.
And let’s be real for a second… if you’ve never called your child an ass or at least THOUGHT they were being an ass, then either you haven’t been a parent long enough or you don’t actually have kids. 🤣
I don’t know about y’all, but in this economy $350 absolutely matters and money sure ain’t growing on trees around here. If you don’t want to hold your kids accountable, that’s your business. I’ll hold mine accountable till the day I die. My boys WILL understand how hard their parents work for everything they have.
These kids have their own show coops, birds, animals, projects, and opportunities because WE work for them. We have over 100 animals and most of those show birds are for the boys. And before anybody says it, no we do NOT make money showing. Half the time it doesn’t even cover gas or feed costs. We work hard for every single thing these kids have and every opportunity they get.
My kids also don’t sit around glued to gaming systems and devices all day. We are an outside family. Old school. They work, they sweat, they learn life skills.
My 8 year old can run a zero turn, w**d eat, move my vehicle around the property, and solve his own problems half the time. Kid threw a ball on the roof the other day and instead of crying about it, he grabbed a ladder and handled it himself. That’s the kind of children we’re raising over here.
My boys say yes ma’am, no ma’am, yes sir, no sir. They have chores. They clean up after themselves. They work for extra money. And now my oldest gets to learn that acting foolish costs money and mommy and daddy are not his personal bank account.
Y’all can bash me all you want, but I sleep real good at night knowing I’m raising capable, respectful, hardworking boys instead of entitled ones. 😉
