I think Robert Frost wrote something about that once. And the path you helped him towards (because you're a good parent) is a very reasonable one, with many less pitfalls. This is a good thing. One day (don't count on it) he may realize that you did him a solid.

Not necessarily so different. The important part is what he wants, that doesn't have to change. There are many paths to that.

dmax wrote: This is the real lesson, but it's one that doesn't get learned for decades. We and our kids were raised in opulent times. What you owned defined you. If owned less, you might feel ashamed.
My fault is letting this perpetuate to my kids. In wanting to make them comfortable (which does not teach compassion) there's the implication that ownership is what brings happiness. Lack of ownership means that you're not happy.
But, like I've said elsewhere, I think that I've been happiest sitting on the beach, wondering what's for dinner. Or participating in a great conversation. The ability to buy things has a brief, empty happiness that drives us - as a society - to think that as we buy bigger or better then the happiness will likewise be bigger or better.
I'm sad that 1) I taught that, accidentally, to my kids and 2) that I still succumb to it myself.
However, education brings opportunity (in general). I have a hard time thinking that I could let my kids not get more education in the interest of not going down the road of Buying Things.
:much empathy:
