I have been teaching my girl the importance of money, but I may have gone a little overboard

I taught DS1 the importance of only buying when there are discounts. Now he'll auto tell me (and his little bro) the same.

Nothing wrong in such teaching - just so long as the obsession is not Silas Marner style.

Yes it is very important to buy only when there are discounts, I do the same thing too

I always tell my children, I will only buy if the item is on sale, and I explain why. Also when shopping, I do not buy \"on impulse\", I will not buy just coz they see it and like it. Other than special occasions, strictly no buying unless i agree before hand (eg a reward), so they know, not to ask me get anything when we shop. I used to wonder if I am a bit too unkind, but am happy to know you do the same too

Sometimes discount may not be discounts, merchants may increase the prices artificially and then out a discount sign and said that it's discounted. :roll:

Hi, just to share something interesting.


Yesterday dd asked me the meaning of 萍水相逢 that she heard it from one of the Taiwan show. In addition to this, I share with her a song of 萍聚:

別管以后将如何結束至少我们曾经相聚过
不必費心的彼此約束更不須要言語的承诺
只要我们曾经拥有过对你我來讲已经足夠
人的一生有許多回忆只愿你的追忆有个我

I also tell her she can apply some part of the ge ci to her CL compo. when writing a story like P6 graduation or going to separating with good friend etc
