[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1418734, member: 4362"] That is true. All my children have planted plenty of trees and I've told them that if they ever act foolishly with the trees I'll come out of the grave and haunt them because I've seen more than my share of spoiled youngun's pizz away the efforts of previous generations with no thought of the work and sacrifice their parents and grandparents put into them. Ez, I don't think there is nothing wrong with helping your children but I think the important thing is how you go about it. Like the good book says, you don't give someone a snake if they ask for bread. In other words, you don't want to enable sorriness. Many parents fail at this. In my case, I was kicked out of the house when I graduated high school so my dad's doing nothing was actually the best thing he could have done for me at the time. Between his teaching me how to work and a crash course in time management where I learned you could do more sh!t before sunrise than I ever dreamed I soon became well equipped to deal with just about anything. Of course, every child is different but I've raised mine by being very light on the reigns and I'll back them 100% if as long as the results justify it but they all know I will have no problem weaning them real fast if they start acting up.
