I think its a good thing when parents go out of their way to make their children happy. But its a foolish thing when a parent have to take bill money to buy their child a pair a shoes. Im speaking on what Ive witnessed in my family. Its not teaching kids about being appreciative, humble, and blessed by doing foolish things. The black family fails when it comes to the value of a dollar. We are literally raising our children to be materialistic beings that will keep them at ground level. Millionaire/billionare children wearing keds and vans while we as parents work 9-5 some minimum wage or contract workers and our kids wearing $200 shoes. Something is all wrong with this picture. My daughter has adapted this sneaker behavior because of my husband buying them for her and she never asked. This year she asked and will not receive. Instead Ill instill value in her so that she can one day leave her children with assets and not $200 shoes that has no worth only a name and a fad. College degrees cost and student loans is not the solution, its just another way to keep you grounded. Save that extra for successful days!!!! Lets not forget its not about how many gifts under the tree, its about putting that smile on a childs face, especially when they get the simple things on their list. Most of all its about Christ, the tree and gifts is man created to extend some happiness in life while on earth. #nopuntintended #wegotitallwrong #wehavetodobetter
