Don't have time to read this long post? [Listen To It Instead]
Greetings Proactive Parents,
I want to address some conflict that came up during last night’s workshop. And let me preface it by saying this...
This message is not directed at any person in particular. This is a hypothetical scenario.
You didn’t go through the drive-thru.
You didn’t order no coffee.
And your daughter didn’t ask for a cookie.
So nobody take this personally, this is a hypothetical scenario
NOW LET'S GET INTO IT
A mother goes through the drive-thru and orders herself a coffee.
The daughter says, “Mom, can I have a cookie?”
And the mother replies, “No — we’ve got cookies at home.”
And the daughters reply was
"Well, we got coffee at home"
Now we're at a crossroads.
Imagine you're in this scenario.
Are you gonna show your child humility or hypocrisy?
Because the daughter’s not wrong — there is coffee at home.
So why can Mom buy coffee, but she can’t have a cookie?
Somebody might say:
“I’m teaching my child to be financially responsible — we don’t need to buy cookies when we already got cookies at home.”
Somebody else might say:
“I just didn’t feel like making coffee today. We’re already out, so I’ll grab a coffee while were here
That's a fair point, but if the real lesson is financial responsibility.
You tell me:
how financially responsible is it to spend money at the drive-thru when you already got coffee at home?
This is when it's time to look in the mirror.
We say we want to teach responsibility, but sometimes we not showing responsibility we showing convenience.
So again, are you going to be humble or are you going to hypocrite?
Are you gonna say:
“You know what, you’re right — we do have coffee at home. Let me get you that cookie.”
Or will you double down and show hypocrisy,
trying to justify behavior that don’t align with the lesson?
You got coffee at home.
You got cookies at home.
Your child is watching... what you gonna do?
Tell me in the comments below, what would you do?
