    Next time the kid asks for an allowance, say that money is a social construct

        See, I dunno about that one. I have a very strange and almost primal urge to feed kids. I think it’s generic programming.

          It took me a while to learn to control my rising angst when my son started deciding he didn’t want to eat much some days. Had to learn to trust what he’s saying and play it cool with bargaining with him to try things he’s decided he suddenly doesn’t like and eat just a few of the key food groups he hasn’t eaten before deciding he’s full.

            Same, there are few things more stressful to me than when my daughter doesn’t eat. Learning to be okay with a sorry dinner is a process I’m still going through
