When you children turn 16
When the kids turn 16 it is time to open them up to your world and let them see what you both do for work and how much you get paid and what you spend your money on. Sit down with them and show them he bills you pay right down to that coffee at work or before work that is if you drink coffee. what you have for all the three meals per day and in general what you do everyday to provide the many things that are need everyday within your house hold.
The best thing you can do for you children right now is take them to work with you one at a time and with your bosses permission and show them what you do all day and then come home that night and show them all the bills you pay with the money you earn and what you spend it on. do this with the both you. so they know what each one of you do daily. Then tell them from now on you can do what you want now and once they understand what you both do things might change with them. Then tell them when they turn 18 they can go and get a job and be on there own and then make the right choices for them for everyone is different. Have to sit and talk so the will understand what will happen when the time comes for them to get married and start her own family and all the things she will have to do. Then from then on tell her she is on her own and make their own way in life. and we are here if you need to talk about anything.
