So many children today don't know the value of hard work or the satisfaction that comes from a job well done. I am thankful that I can honestly say all of our grands are learning these lessons and are also saving the money they earn for their future. Our oldest grandson, age 16, has been working since last year doing lawn jobs. He is saving his money for a car, car insurance and finally a house. At 16, both hubby and I were not thinking about the future and saving for it-we were just having fun!
I hate to admit it, but I didn't have a good work ethic; I worked at a part time job throughout high school, but didn't have to do much at home. I regret not learning some of the lessons from my mom-like cooking her favorite dishes etc. I tried to instill the value of helping out whenever possible; thankfully our daughters are simply amazing and so hard working. They truly take after my hubby more than me and I'm glad about that.
Hope you have an amazing day!

Noreen, Thank you for raising your children with good work ethics. That is a great thing in life. My daughters all have great work ethics...their children are workers . I think if every kid has at least home chores, it helps them learn the value of what's important. Things worth having are worth the work. Blessings stay cool, xoxo, Susie

The floors are beautiful! Would love to do the same here.....it is great to involve everyone in helping isn't it. Hey, friend, I am having a surgical excision tomorrow b/c melanoma was found on my back....shallow so that is good, but your prayers are appreciates. Wrote about it today. Hugs and thanks for praying and coming by my blog for a visit. Hope you are doing well.
ReplyDeleteI agree, it's sad, but true. I'm glad your grandkids are afraid of a little work!
