If only he could roll back the clock

by Harvey

It’s so nice to unexpectedly find unsolicited praise during some aimless browsing :-)

I just came across Dave Mauder’s blog entry where he talks about his headstrong 19 year old daughter. She was moving out that day, following a long history of financial irresponsibility and non-contribution to the family. It’s a difficult situation for any parent, but unfortunately, not at all abnormal. Dave’s article (lament?) is required reading, IMHO.

Half way through the story, much to my surprise, I discovered a huge and lengthy plug for Active Allowance!

In Dave’s words:

“I truly wish I would have known about this service back when my kids were 5 or 6 years old. What a difference it could (would) have made!”

We often do wish we could turn back the clock. Dave - my main consoling comment on the subject comes from my Dad:

“Just remember….life’s a marathon, not a sprint….there’s still a long way to go in this race!”

Dave - please be sure to give us an update on how she’s doing and any useful learning you might gain.
