[Rapscallion St Croix]

My children are in their 50s and have made us extremely proud. They are both retired military, one is a combat vet, all their children are college grads with good careers except my youngest grandchild who just got a full ride to a great university. They both married great guys and have successful long-lived marriages. They call us often as do the grandchildren. Of course they will inherit our estate. That doesn't mean we are denying ourselves toys and luxuries in order to provide for them. We all play a role in how our children turn out so if yours is an ungrateful misguided bum, perhaps you should contemplate the guided part of "misguided".
