Money and raising children



I asked my parents what they did to manage the money for our household and they both said the same thing. They said that my mom pays for the mortgage and any other house payments. She also pays for my education and any scholastic needs. My dad pays all of the bills. If we need any groceries or necessities for the house then either of them will buy it. They keep it pretty simple and it has work the whole time they have been together.
I also asked my parents what advice they would give me if I was raising a child and what they did to raise my brother, my sister, and I. The advice my mom gave me for raising a child was to make sure that they always have what they need. She told me to be patient and to always be aware of how they’re feeling and what they’re up to. Then both my parents said that for them it was important to give us everything they never had like a good education.
I really don’t have any complaints about how my parents raised me. I didn’t like it when I got spanked but it was always so that I wouldn’t do what I did again. Sometimes I didn’t like that my mom was too over protective, but I know that it was for my well being so now I appreciate it. Besides that I had a pretty good life. I always got the stuff that I wanted from my dad, but I always had to earn it through soccer. I always had everything that I needed.
