Yeah, I was just saying I think it's more difficult raising children when you have everything like you always think. I think there is a middle and upper middle class delimit going on, particularly when it comes to raising children, how much to give your children? So that these children, there's a whole generation. Our children being raised again with the sense of entitlement.? Is that not true? Does people parent don't know where to draw the line?
?
Yeah, but I think now it's more difficult the lines are not as clearly to find and even for, you know, working class parents try to give their kids everything, so you have a generation of kids who grow up, as you were saying, expecting things to be done for them, given to them that they are expected to have. And I think the process of success has broken down for a lot of kids. I mean I go to school.....
?
I do too. I admire warm buffet enormously. I mean I admire what you said. But for him to say, I'm not gonna give him everything to my kids. They have to learn that kind of responsibility. It's so important, so great for him to do that. I'm sorry for you. But it's a very, you know, it really isn't.
?
I know, listen, I deal with my family members who think your money is my money or my money is their money who feel like, well, you are supposed to do that. And it's really, it's been difficult.
?
?
I think one of the things we did emphasize is there is no essential to an upper class whatever class? without education. Education is the key factor, yeah, is the key factor. We all agree with that, right? It's the key factor, more so than money, or is it more so than money?
They are related. Because parents' ability to give a kid a great education, unfortuantely, is related to where they live and their neightborhood. And that relates to the quality of the school.
?
Yeah. What do you want to say? Yes.
?
I only agree a little bit. (About what?) Because education being such a key factor. Everybody keeps going back to that. A lady mention how, you know, the kinda grammar somebody speaks as, you know, tell tale. And the fact of the matter is, you can educate somebody, but you can't teach someone to think, that's something that comes with good parenting, that's something that comes with human values, that's something that is, it is much bigger that what school the kids go to. And like what this lady appear, your grandfather probably knew that you will be the woman that you are now. Because you had to work for. You had to, you know, just really get a lot of those value on your own and everything wasn't spoon-fed. I mean, realistically, yeah, we'd all like to have money. But I mean, I purposely even though I do well for myself everything. I take my kid the dollar store and buy her cheap shoes and just led her see with that looks at something that I have to shop at the dollar store becuase I don't. But the fact of the matter is I don't want her to assume that she has the entitlement because it will affect her ability to think which that's not education school factor, that's just good training.
?
OK, I'm going to agree with that that much and think so. Yeah. Thank you, right.
