Is this a Con-Verb for parents?

Question

If you wish to impoverish your children forever,

give them everything they want.

Answer 1

FINALLY! One I actually get!

Thanks Cynthia....for making me feel a little less dense.

Answer 2

It sounds as if you did, but this is more of a proverb than a converb, I think.

Answer 3

It's a "Spot-On Con (-Verb)"

Answer 4

Yes, I think this is Con-verbial...

Answer 5

Sorry to say - how true this is.  Nothing like a spoiled child - no sense of working for what one wants - while wanting everything.  Life can be hard - but to be unprepared for it - just makes it worse. Beautifully written - two opposites make a whole. ♥

Answer 6

I had a sign once: "How to Raise a Criminal." One of the items was very similar to yours.

Answer 7

Absolutely natural. No added sugar, colors, flavors, or preservatives.You win .

Answer 8

yes definitely!

Answer 9

Oh thank you, thank you, thank you! I worked in a daycare center once and I can not tell you how many children (2 and 3 year olds even!!) walked all over their parents. It's sad.

I hope I do right with my two sons. Spoiling a child only hurts them in the long run.

Yup....you and Dad DEFINITELY did a lotta things right!

Kudos to you!
