You taught them the rules of scarcity and how to react to the word,”No”. A really good job of parenting, you should write a book.

Scarcity? We had a ski house in New Hampshire, traveled to many exciting places. They wanted for nothing in life. But yeah, they had actual CHORES, and learned responsibility by having small jobs at a formative age in life. They are all happy, healthy adults. I’d love to write a book about the lazy, entitled kids I see today.

Scarcity in that they had to partially earn their own way as they matured. Maturation comes from overcoming challenges, not from being handed everything.
