Value Is In The Eye Of The Beholder


When my kids complained about my decisions, restrictions, or unfairness, which, to their (and my) credit, was only occasional, and never disrespectful, I replied thusly:

"That is why we want you to go to school, get a good education,
get a good job, and make a lot of money.
Then you can afford a really great mother.
I'm just the one you got for free".

Usually, that ended the discussion...
