As parents, my husband and I are deeply grateful that we can provide well for our kids. There’s a special kind of joy in seeing their faces light up when we give them something they’ve been wishing for.
But over the years, I’ve realized that saying no is just as important as saying yes.
Because I don’t want to raise children who believe that everything they want should automatically be theirs—just because we can afford it. I want them to learn the value of waiting, choosing wisely, and appreciating what they already have.
It’s not about depriving them.
It’s about teaching them that not everything you can buy, you should.
That happiness doesn’t always come from having more—
but from knowing when you already have enough. 🌸
