[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1418799, member: 4362"] I agree but I don't view what FFS is doing as giving his child anything other than a valuable life lesson which will be extremely important for them later in life. This could be viewed as selfishness on his part because I'm sure he recognizes that one day he will be forced to pass the torch to his child and I'm sure if he is like most of us he doesn't want to see his life's work sold on the auction block or squandered so what better way to insure this doesn't happen than giving his child a small piece of the operation and a taste of the responsibility so they will be prepared to run the operation themselves one day. Our kids didn't ask to be here so I view it as our responsibility to groom them to be productive and successful. For people in agriculture I can see no better way to do it and as for myself, I am selfish, and don't want to see my life's work squandered so I view stuff like this a cheap insurance policy to insure it isn't squandered or lost due to not knowing how to run things. Some might call this privileged but I think its simply responsible parenting. [/QUOTE]
