why do some parents think that it is wrong for...?

Question

their children to know how much they make for their job?

im just curious. i would never ask my dad or mom what their salary is. yes, there is a boy in my class who goes around telling everyone how much his dad makes. very obnoxious acually..

Answer 1

I would say, to keep them from telling the neighbors.

And why is it wrong to teach kids about finances?? When are they supposed to learn? NOW is the time. Not only will they learn how hard you have to work for what you bring in, they will learn to appreciate what part of it you share with them. They will learn the value of a dollar, of hard work, of sharing, of family, of comparison shopping, . .

Sheltering kids from life defeats the purpose of "learning about life". They will have to face it eventually, and it will be easier while they have you to help them through the tough lessons and no home or famiy to lose as they will later.

Answer 2

i think its stupid. its not like you should be ashamed of what you make at work. My parents always let me in on their financial situations. But maybe some do it so their kids dont brag and make fun of children whose parents dont have that much money or think they deserve more allowance.

Answer 3

they dont want their kids to be go in round and sayin my parents make 1000 dollars a week
sum thing like that u no

Answer 4

Because it's none of their business. My father has never told my sister and I his salary, and we wouldn't dream of asking.

Answer 5

Financial concerns are ADULT concerns. Children should not be involved in it. They should not be expected to be involved in it either!
