Send us a textHere’s today’s letter:Coming out of last year’s holiday season, I started to wonder if my kids are getting a little spoiled. My partner and I both grew up in working class families, our parents often lived check to check and we learned to be grateful for what little we had. I really think those tough times pulled us together as a family. My partner and I have been very fortunate to have more disposable income as we raise our children. What that means is they usually have new outfits at the beginning of the school year, they get lots of presents for their birthdays and Christmas, and they have never had to worry about our financial security as a family. I’m grateful for this, but now I’m starting to wonder if they are going to be missing out on some of the positive parts of our childhoods. Gratitude, a hard work ethic, not being wasteful, not feeling entitled, all of those sorts of things. Basically, we want our kids to be humble, hard working, and generous. Our kids are 7 and 4.
