I have a Conservative child and a Liberal child. My Conservative child works hard! He has been steadily employed since graduating college. He bought his first home not too long ago. He is adulting…we are very proud of him. Never wants to have to ask for help…
wants to make it on his own. As a matter of fact, he believes he should pay us back the standard amount it takes to raise a child. We tell him, no, of course, because that’s just not how it works. He’s always been motivated to do better and be better.
My Liberal child recently told me that capitalism is evil. It’s not right to have to spend your childhood going to school and then have to get a job…where you just work all the time and never get to have fun…have a life. Trust me when I say this convo didn’t end well.
Our relationship is a roller coaster to say the least. She is disgusted with us for being Trumpers/Maga. Expresses her disdain for me, especially, daily. She also told us that she didn’t ask to be born, so since we “decided” to have her…we’re on the hook for life.
She has a college degree as well. Tried once to make it in her chosen profession, it didn’t bring instant success, so she gave up. She is a creative writer. She wrote a novel…got it published…but stopped there. There’s so much more she needed to do to get it promoted and seen.
My Conservative child chose a small, private, Christian based university. My daughter chose a liberal arts university. No explanation needed here…I guess, as to why my children are so different. They grew up in the same household…both saw our struggles and triumphs.
My husband and I both worked. We were both very involved in their childhoods. One appreciates everything and is so grateful to have us as parents. Always thanks us for showing him how to make it in this world…aka/adulting. The other blames us for everything wrong in her life
and expects us to continually compensate her for it. She is Liberal to the extreme. This causes great conflict in our family.
The reason I’m posting all of this, is I guess to say…Liberal indoctrination and ideologies, IMO, are ruining us as a society…destroying the foundation, values, principles, morals and beliefs of our great country. They’ve turned one of my children into a stranger.
I don’t know if I’ll ever get her back. Sounds dramatic…but true. She expects us to be accepting and tolerant to her views but we simply have no right to ours. She’s been programmed and there’s no way to break through the fanatical muck. We must get our country back on track.
Our Conservative politicians must stop with the greed and power trips…they must get behind President Trump’s America First agenda…and stop this diseased madness. I love both of my children, to infinity and beyond…but I’m so worried and scared for them in today’s world.
I told y’all I wouldn’t be able to keep it short! (blue check blues)🤣 As always…thanks for reading! Prayers, love, hugs!🇺🇸🦅👊🏻💪🏻❤️🤍💙
@themoneycoach There are other factors involved and I do understand that this not entirely tied to political affiliation. I do believe it has played a huge role, though. I thank you for your kindness and sharing with me.
