"I'm all about parents sacrificing for their kids" <--- Did you skip the part where I wrote this?
- darawk 7y agoDid you skip what I wrote? You say you're all about parents sacrificing for their kids. But why would they bother if their kids won't get any benefit from it?
- harryh 7y agoIt's a matter of degree. Some sacrifice = great. Extreme sacrifice = bad.
- darawk 7y agoIs not eating out or taking vacations too much sacrifice?
- harryh 7y agoIt is when combined with "commuted 4 hours daily."
- learc83 7y agoI agree. I wouldn't have traded 20 hours a week of time spent with my dad for a better neighborhood.
- pertymcpert 7y agoYes. Really. Your family is not model to be aspirational of. Yours is a warning to others.
- darawk 7y agoTo be clear, my family did not make those tradeoffs. I'm not the original commenter. But why do you think such a thing is a warning?
- pertymcpert 7y agoOk my mistake. > But why do you think such a thing is a warning? Because it's a bad way to spend your life.
