Don’t Neglect Every Minute Spent With Your Kids

The time we spend with our children is very precious, and this story will emphasize that even more. If you’re a parent with younger children, this story is virtually essential.

A guy came home from work and the first thing his son asked him was “How much do you paid an hour?”

Although he was surprised by the question he smiled and replied ” I am paid $20 an hour son”.

He was about to ask his son why he had asked this when his son asked him very seriously “ok dad, can I have $10 please?”

If the first question was unexpected, the second one floored him completely. Money was tight and he had to work very hard for his pay check, so his son was bang out of order.

He told his son this and expressed his disappointment at how his son had asked him for money. Things were already tight financially, and asking for such a thing would only make things more difficult.

The boy was bitterly disappointed by the way his father had reacted and he walked away quietly and sadly.

That night as he was tucking his son into bed, he started to feel guilty about what had happened earlier and got a $10 bill from his wallet and gave it to his son.

With a whoop of delight the child put his hand under his pillows and when he withdrew it he had $10 in dollar bills in his hand. His father was furious and wanted to know why he had wanted the money off him when he already had $10.

His son held out the money to him and said “There’s $20 dad, I’ve just bought an hour with you…….”

What do you think your children would pay for an hour of your time?
