I sold real estate for years and the people I worked with were all Republicans and had a mentality that students should work their way through college.

At a staff meeting one day, I told them I paid for everything the kids needed to go to college.

And the one women surprisingly ask me a great question:" what is your theory on that"-lol.

I said both kids were doing very well in college and so they are doing their job and mine is supporting them.

I didn't want them to waste time selling shoes for $6 and hour when I made a $100.

I wanted them to develop their minds.

I also raised both with NO punishment and never had a bit of problems with either, never had to tell them to do their homework even once, and one bopped her way in to Berkeley and is a lawyer and the other a scientist.

And they both married great guys and have long term marriages of tranquility-no fighting ever-lol.

But I got a lot of pressure at times to punish them. But of course I never caved-lol!
