Don't Use Your Children As An Excuse

Image
Thought for the day: Why do some parents make their child(ren) an excuse for whatever reason? This week I've had the chance to talk to many parents about success and sadly numerous times I kept getting EXCUSES that start with "My kids..." or "Since I've had kids, I've had to sacrifice...". First off you do not sacrifice anything for your kids. I never understood that statement. I don't care whet her they were a planned pregnancy or not because at the end of the day you still chose to keep them. Excuse my language and this may offend some people but I lack a great deal of empathy when it comes to this matter... My parents and I are from Trinidad and it's always been my mothers dream to come to America and own a daycare. She left my dad and I to come to America to work so she can bring us to the States. During that process she went to nursing school, became an LPN and got her green card so she could file for my dad and I and then we came.
