Yes, of course, man. And my wife backed into our car several months ago and just getting out of the driveway. Cause I'm a terrible Parker. It was my fault. Yeah. Right. And Josephine, my nine-year-old said, well, it looks like we've got to go get a new one. And I looked at her and said, that's not how that works. Right.

But, but what I realized is my son cleans horse stalls and my daughter's growing up in a different world than my son did. And So my wife and I, it was a good moment. We've got to be extra intentional now.

Being poor isn't the solution either, right? I wouldn't wish that on anybody. You can look at any health and relationship metrics. That's not the solution either. The solution is to continue to focus on those lessons like you just mentioned, whether you have little, whether you got a lot, man. cannot, don't steal from your kids.

You said to us, caller, if you just give an unlimited amount of money to a teenager, you're robbing them of their own dignity, of their own ability to stand up on their own two feet. It's criminal. And often it is parents propping themselves up. Look what I can do for my kid instead of let me teach my kid to stand up tall. And it's just, I don't say it's abusive, but it's really close, man.

But can I say, Hank, my son's 15. He's heading into that season. The temptation is on me. Oh, yeah? Because I want to just go get him a really cool, nice thing. And we look at trucks now, and we're driving, and we come to stoplights, and we're like, man, look at that. And I want to be able to just go write a check for it and get it for him. And I have to know I'm stealing from him if I do that.
