I had one of those…

Then he got married..

He better make some grandsons..

Or I’m gonna be pissed…

I identify with your sentiment exactly.
Raising good kids is too much work to not get some grandkids outta the deal.

My daughter was born lazy, and got worse as she aged. She gifted me with a damn good grandson though.

We are currently training the daughter in law..

I’ll report back.. she’s a good person, just no education in the matters of life that would make a person notice.

Son in law came pre programmed in the art of productivity..
He grew up poor…

And don’t like it…

That can be a very good thing to make a person do useful stuff.

My wife was raised damn near dirt floor poor. Frugal would be an understatement.

Agreed..

I grew up poor as a rat..

I know how to do it, but that *s-word is over..

The art of living below one’s means is underrated.
Good skill set I’d say..

We ate outta the dumpster behind the grocery stores in the 80's....12 kids and little to no work, my dad did what he had to do to feed us.
We kids didn't know any different.....seemed perfectly reasonable to us... in fact as a young kid dumpster diving was totally awesome fun.

When I was young, I never could figure out why dad never ate supper with us & mom just sat with us & didn’t eat while my sister & I ate.

Mother made about all of my sisters clothes & most of my shirts & we had all sorts of hand me downs as well.

The only time I had a fit was when I had to wear my sister’s shoes to little league practice…

There will be a lot of folks that will be chit out of luck if they have live that way.

My mother’s mother always said “Use it up, wear it out or do without”

Mother has it written on a chalkboard on her kitchen cupboard door.
