Never Say ‘I Don’t Have Money’ to Your Kids

-
Image
As a parent, there will be times when your child asks for something you simply can't provide. How you handle these requests can shape their understanding of value, patience, and financial responsibility. Here’s a realistic approach to managing such situations with care and clarity. 1. Be Honest but Gentle Honesty is essential, but it should be communicated with sensitivity.

For example, you might say, “We don’t have that right now,” rather than simply “I don’t have.” This helps convey that the issue is about availability, not a lack of willingness to provide. 2. Explain the Situation Offering a brief explanation can help your child understand why their request cannot be met immediately. For instance, if the item is expensive or not readily available, you could say, “We don’t have that right now because we need to save for it,” o...

I met Tunde when I was 26. He was my first love, the man who made me believe in forever. We spent 11 years together, sharing dreams, laughter, and countless secrets. He disvirgined me, and I believed in our love so deeply that I sacrificed everything for him, even enduring the pain of aborting pregnancies six times because he wasn't ready to be a father. But now, at 37, I face the harsh truth my body can no longer carry a child. Tunde, ever the sweet talker, promised marriage, insisting that I had been the foundation of his success. I supported him through thick and thin, helping him rise in his career. But on the day of our traditional engagement, everything fell apart. His parents revealed in court that another woman was pregnant with his child, and they were already planning a wedding for him and this new woman. I was devastated, but my siblings urged me to continue with the marriage. "You've come too far to turn back now," they said. Torn between their...

Matching outfits are now “content gold.” As a blogger and visual...
