  • I absolutely agree. Although my parents weren’t that well off, they made it work with the little they had and gave me the best that they could. It included a lot of what you stated, just not the golf clubs or boats. We did a lot and I made a lot of friends through the years and it was very fun. I even had a blast when I got out of school and found some financial freedom to do a lot for a bit. As I got older things started getting tighter and at this point I feel the same as you do. I can’t afford anything and I’m stuck where I am. I feel bad since I have 2 kids and feel like I do them a disservice not being able to give them what I had.



  • As someone with kids, they ruined my not sleeping time. I used to stay up because it was the only time to myself and crash around 2am. Now I’m lucky if I can keep my eyes open past midnight… I also can’t sleep in anymore either. My wife leaves around 6am to work and I am basically up. Kids out the door at 7:15 so not much time between anyway. It sucks because i wanna sleep in on Saturday and Sunday still but it’s ingrained into me at this point so I am up at like 7am tops… on the flip side I have learned to just do all the things I wanted to at 11pm at 7am instead!













  • “All the religious school is saying is ‘Don’t exclude us on account of our religion,’” Justice Brett Kavanaugh said. “If you go and apply to be a charter school and you’re an environmental studies school, or you’re a science-based school, or you’re a Chinese immersion school, or you’re a English grammar-focused school, you can get in. And then you come in and you say, ‘Oh, we’re a religious school.’ It’s like, ‘Oh, no, can’t do that, that’s too much.’ That’s scary.” He continued: “You can’t treat religious people and religious institutions and religious speech as second-class in the United States… And when you have a program that’s open to all comers except religion… that seems like rank discrimination against religion.”

    This sounds like DEI to me.
