No, a lot cynical, really, I would gladly DIE for my kids, but if the DNA meant so much, how do adoptive parents fall just as much in love as the biological ones do.
Besides, I was trying to make this point, DNA does NOT give anyone the right to treat someone like DIRT, or steal thier home, that was the point I was making.
I don't fear my kids mooching, because they know it won't happen. My sixteen year old has a part time job, she's saving some, and using some for fun ( where we live they roll up the streets by six), my son at fourteen earns money by doing odd jobs in the winter (snow shoveling this years been rough for him, or cleaning out the garden shed etc. )in the summer he works on the local farms.
I've already told both that I will be living in a one bedroom apartment when the leave home, I will always be there for them, but my financial OBLIGATIONS END technically when they are 18 years of age, after that its MY CHOICE.
And I know from experience what Moochers are capable of, and how they suck you into their world, so cynical, okay I'll take it, Jaded I admit, and a hardened realist too boot !
