Quit Spoiling Your Kids.

Welcome to the notorious Sexual Sundays!

For your consideration: Quit Spoiling Your Kids.

Don’t people get it? Don’t people understand that they’re ruining the world by filling it with offspring that can’t fend for themselves? Don’t people understand that buying your kids ANYTHING they want, because you didn’t have anything doesn’t teach your kids anything—specifically, how to work???!!!

So, people buy their kids new cars for their sixteenth birthday. The kid then winds up “needing” money for college (while never even trying to apply for scholarships). The kid then winds up needing money for a down payment on a house, because they can’t save a damn thing. The kid is then 30 years old, and not a kid anymore, but winds up needing to move back home, because the house gets foreclosed on. The kid is still living at home at age 39. Blah. Blah. Blah.

You know the story. You know why you know the story?


Because some of you are doing this with your kids right now!

Here’s how not to spoil your kids, since so many of you need direction:

  1. When they’re old enough to hold a rake or shovel, or tie their own shoes, make sure they’re doing so.
  2. When they’re old enough to legally work, make sure they are.
  3. When they’re old enough to apply for scholarships, make sure they are.
  4. When they’re old enough to be on their own, make sure you put them out of the house

We know. We know. This is too harsh . . . You love your kids . . .

Ask yourself this: If you loved your kids, would you want them to be self-reliant or reliant on you?

Good luck out there.

  1. Hi MoneyKing,

    This is a great post. You know so many parents are so irresponsible when it comes to the proper thing to do for and with their kid.
