it's strange to have a conversation about entitlement and privilege without using the word class a rich kid is gonna have issues w entitlement and privilege bc they are entitled and privileged. parenting can't change that. if you have the money for the shoes all the other rich kids are wearing but withhold them from your child to teach them what it's like not have something, you have only made matters more difficult. beyond being a child, they will never know what it's like to live without or w fewer entitlements and privileges (unless they fall on hard times), so you should teach them to listen to others who do know. otherwise, you have just compounded the issue- they are still privileged but will grow up thinking they are not bc mom and dad made them artificially suffer; imagine the rude shock when someone takes the time to explain the reality to them! they probably won't listen and then, as a result, end up being the asshole you tried so hard not raise so instead of withholding the shoes, why not give your rich kid the money and tell them how to use it do mutual aid? give them ideas, like buy the shoes and give them to someone who can't afford them, show them how to donate the money to their favorite cause, or take them downtown to give the money to a houseless person. this channel is useful because it borrows heavily from radical works, so it's frustrating that the question "how to not raise an asshole" has been divorced from questions like "how do i teach my kid class consciousnesses and solidarity (or how to be a class traitor if we are stinkin rich)." like, if you feel you need to prepare your kid to handle arbitrary suffering in order to navigate the world, what does that say about the world? if there are people trying to make the world a better place where we don't have arbitrary suffering, artificial scarcity, or austerity to begin w, shouldn't we try to raise our rich kids to value helping those people? good inside has lessons that could make the entire world a better place, for everyone, everywhere, but instead we de-radicalized the ideas so they only apply at an individual level, mostly behind a paywall (get your own membership). raising your kids like class does not exist is part of the devil convincing the world that he is not real. who does this help? the sponsors :( this video seems to mostly focus on the wealthy. what a lovely, wonderful problem to have- not enough unmeetable wants and needs. the fewer entitlements and privileges society has bestowed on a kid, the more they will learn gratitude and whatever as a necessity. in fact, parents who have children they want have the greatest privilege of all, and most adults could learn a thing or two from children on the subject of gratitude and how to not be an asshole
You help me so much in my parenting journey. I survived postpartum depression thanks to you. God bless you ❤Live from Greece 🇬🇷
I’m new here and listening in on this topic is a fresh breath of air.
