"Your primary job as a parent is to prepare your child for how the world really works. In the real world, you don't always get what you want." - Dr. Phil
When we start parenting our children without defining the main purpose/goal, we do it in the wrong way. The result is a grown up who is not prepared to accept responsibilities of his life. Hence becomes dysfunctional member of the society.
74% of the parents say they provide financial support to their 18 to 29 years old children. - Clark University Poll of Parents of Emerging Adults

Hi @seersalomon, Though I appreciate that you took time and commented on my post. Yet, I want to share with you that posting links in comments might involve you in some trouble because Steemit has recently started following strict rules on this part and many accounts have been blacklisted by Cheetah bot. A better way yo share the articles with each other is Discord App or Steem Chat. Good luck and thanks for your support.
How does that bot then destinguish between spam and curating posts or contests where people are actually asked to share their links in comment? Not too mention all those minnowbots and resteemservices who post their info links in all comments...
This is nothing but a friendly share of related information :)
