So what I wanted to talk a little bit about this week is social classes. In my class our professor asked us this question, "What social class would you prefer and how will it affect your kids?" I thought this was a really interesting question. I personally grew up poor. So, when I thought of this question of course my brain went to when I was a child. I have got to say that even though we grew up financially poor we were so rich in other ways. I have the worlds most caring and loving parents who sacrificed so much for me and my siblings. They LOVED us and everything they did showed me that and made me feel that. They were always there when I needed them and they still are. I remember when I was younger and they left for a trip or just even to the grocery story I would climb on the counter and cry as I watched them drive away. I am so grateful that I had and continue to have such a special bond with my parents. Our professor reminded us that income is not what keeps kids out of trouble. It is having a Father and a Mother in the home.
I had no idea when I was young that we struggled with money. It wasn't until I was older that I realized that. I also know that lack of money caused more stress. So as I pondered about this question I realized that I never want my kids to feel entitled but, I also never want them to go without. I discussed this with a friend for a long time. We talked about how we want our kids to be hard workers. We learned to be hard workers and to work for the things we have. We also discussed that it would be awesome to be comfortable and not be wondering what to feed our kids each day. I came to the conclusion that middle class is the class I would prefer. A place where my kids aren't handed everything but, me and my husband could still provide for them. We could all think about this question and make a choice of what we would prefer and what was best for our kids or future kids but, I think it's important that we take actions and steps to do so and to get there! :) xox, Sarah
