[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 589630, member: 3162"] You are on the right track there. You are also to be commended for spending the time with your children in the first place. Times were pretty tough when I was a kid. Dad almost lost a leg that a horse kicked. He was raising us kids, some more he adopted and another one here and there he took in. Mom had to go to work for a while and women weren't paid much in the early 60's. A jar of peanut butter only goes so far - if you know what I mean. Everything is part of life's lessons. Once your children get old enough to get curious about finances, talk to them. When you go to the feed store for even trivial purchases, let them shop with you. Be prudent about it and verbalize everything in front of them as if their input is important. "What do you think about buying this?" etc. Just because times are easier now, don't let that sway prudency. You can get those kids thinking without the calves. Again, I think you should be commended for considering the things you are considering. Let those kids be kids but keep teaching them too. Cows are a lot of responsibility in themselves. Great lessons. [/QUOTE]
