My kids are not spoiled. They don't get everything they could want. This is not a "fancy private school".
My kids don't watch TV, play computer games or wear designer clothes. They are not babysat by barney, square bob and dora the explorer.
Yes, i'm somewhat successful but I don't want my kids to go through all the experiences I have. I want them to have different motivation.
I became successful IN SPITE OF my up bringing.
I don't want my son to see his best friend shot in the head - and to have that experience change HIS life so he can become a "productive citizen" as opposed to a hoodlum.
Just trying to find that middle ground
