Ohio boy sells his toys to help his family

[mawilson 2,133]

Not at all. I posted an incredibly moving and poignant story this morning. Something with real meaning that wasn't done for fame or fortune and illustrating genuine sacrifice of both parents and children. This is just schmaltz. I am sorry you can't tell the difference, really.

I think if you're ok with taking candy from a baby, its probably a good idea to cultivate a thin mustache and an evil laugh.

You guys are cracking me up today.

I think the story is inspiring, the boy is doing his little share to help in a very bad situation. When he grows up, he will remember that he did what he could to help his family, and hopefully it will make him feel good

Saludos,

Caro

not to mention that instead of saying something beneficial abut the father raising the kid to be helpful in time of need, it's instead time to slam the father for being a broke azz deadbeat who can't get a job. nevermind that unemployment, especially in the construction field, is quite high.

Whatever happened to shielding kids from the bullsh!t of the world?

The same people who believe in 'shielding their kids from bullsh!t" are the same people who give all the little kiddies on the losing Little League team a trophy just for being 'stars'. They're the same people who go into the classroom and read the teacher a riot act if their little darling isn't picked for some achievement they didn't deserve. Bullsh!t is out there, just like real life. A good parent prepares their child for all of life, not just the rosy parts.

Well, I believe in shielding kids from things like financial difficulties, but I don't believe in trophies for all, yelling at teachers, etc.

I agree with preparing children for life's bumps, but I believe 11 years old is too young for this kid to not have a sense of security of where he's sleeping next week.

That's your belief. Not everybody believes the same thing you do.

I brought it up in direct response to what you said. Not everyone who believes in shielding kids believes the rest of what you wrote. I'm proof. *shrug*

Cat. Tail.

Same old nonsense.
