My hubby and I have always preached to our children, the importance of finding something you loved and sticking to it.
Now, our children are preaching the same thing to their own children.
When our kid became a Heating, Ventilation and A/C professional right out of private school, he was genuinely proud of himself. He worked some long and hard hours as an apprentice with the local Heating, Ventilation and A/C corporation, but he loved it. Now that he is his own boss, he is entirely proud of himself and what he did. I don’t believe if he is as proud of himself as we are of him. Last week, he told us that his kid was talking about going to technical school next year. They were offering Heating, Ventilation and A/C classes at the school and he wanted to labor with his Mom, when he graduated. He said that someday he would appreciate to have his own Heating, Ventilation and A/C dealer and maybe put his Mom out of business. I had to bite our lip when I heard that 1. I know our kid was a bit exasperated over this statement. I’m not sure he was exasperated over being put out of business, or that he couldn’t see himself as being that old. My hubby and I had to laugh when our grandson walked away. The people I was with and I told him he reminded us entirely much of his father. Our kid had once told us that he couldn’t wait to get a fantastic task so that he could support us. Little did he believe that now his kid would say basically the same thing. I just looked at him and smiled and told him whenever he was ready, we would quit labor and let him support us.
