Talking About Money
My parents never talked about money in front of us as kids, and I have always felt it was rude to discuss money with anyone except immediate family. I hate that my daughter's conversation with others often focuses on money and stuff. I have previously told her it was rude and asked her not to do it in my presence as it makes her appear to be a shallow, selfish person. I have done something wrong in that she keeps talking about it, and it is often in front of people that make me uncomfortable. For someone whose father has lost their job and health insurance, or a less privileged family, it is totally insensitive. My immediate solution is to tell her that the next time she does it in the car, I am pulling over and making her get out. Turning the radio up really loud did not work. I am at my wits end, and this has to change somehow.
