Would you then deny that your kid has a leg up on others if you did do all that?
I mean likely. I live in a better school district than most and have time to spend to help my kids with homework. I usually attribute all kid success to kid efforts. Don't foresee myself as an adult going full narcissist and claiming credit,even partial, for the kid success.
It would be up to them to publicly acknowledge what they had other didn't. Otherwise it's kneecapping their achievements.
I can appreciate this perspective and I really respect you are being honest here.
I guess it can be helpful to remind ourselves and our family members to truly consider the advantages we have over others, and to remember that we could just as easily be in the shoes of any other person on earth.
If we experienced the same lives and had the same biology as anyone else, we would make the same decisions that they would.
It helps me to remember this, when someone elses' behaviour bother me. I think to myself, "what kind of life would I have to have led for me to act that way?", and give people the benefit of the doubt that people are trying their best.
Thanks. Realize the kind of answer I gave won’t win me ‘points’ .
realistically if I could do that for my kids I would. I think lots of wealthy families do, only when the opportunities are media facing does it get backlash.
There isn’t a social media page devoted to farm families passing down multimillion dollar businesses as a matter of fact.
