We don't have any kids but have plenty of nieces and nephews that we are close with. I've had several conversations with them, mainly the boys. I tell them "I know you won't listen to me because I didn't listen to the people that told me I would pay for (insert whatever bad behavior) when I was your age. But please keep it in the back of your mind. You WILL pay for it all later". Hopefully the seed is planted. But if they're anything like I was, only time will be the true teacher.
