I noticed your forum has been spammed to death. It's a shame if it's not going to be updated regularly any more, I enjoyed reading. Has this place come to a standstill for a reason?

My parents definitely said no sometimes because they had no choice... and I didn't realize it until I read THIS. FTW. :-) This post is absolutely BEAUTIFUL, hon.

My folks always provided for us, and I never realized that there were times they scraped by. Later they were very successful, but we didn't do big vacations....instead they'd use their vacation time to travel with my lacrosse team around the country, send me to places that they only dreamed about growing up, etc. I don't think I could ever pay them back....but they don't care, because it was never about money to them. Great post.

This post made me get tears in my eyes because you have no idea how much this sounds just like me. I too never realized it until I got to be about 26 or 27 - all that my parents gave up over the years for me but yet they had nothing, the fact that I always had less than the other kids in material things, etc. I think growing up like that gives you such a great perspective on things and it truly makes me appreciate everything that I am able to have now so much more than if I had it forever.

This made me well up a bit actually, thinking about my own mum. She's amazing really, I don't at all know how she raised two kids alone on her wages. And she'll say silly things like how we couldn't have so-and-so, and me and my brother just shake our heads. We didn't want it or need it, we had absolutely everything we needed, and that was all that mattered. All very true. This made me well up a bit actually, thinking about my own mum.

This goes to show that it doesn't take money to raise good kids, it takes love and solid parenting skills. Seems like you turned out just fine. What a great post.
