Yeah so I offered one of my kids spider plant babies this morning. That's gotta count for something.
If you get it and spend time nurturing it with your kid, that's worth more than all the iPads in the world.
Exactly!
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

"A spiritual experience ...went kayaking with my daughter today. Best thing I've done in a while. Love my second Saturdays and the beautiful person this woman has become. All my kids have 100% blossomed as humans once we left....my only regret is not doing it sooner..."
Well, that was a timely Reddit post by a parent. Another post by the user showing how just spending time with a kid on a personal level is what's important:
"Its been rough lately, for both of us. The virus, yada yada. Long story. Anyhow, we sat down, enjoyed a couple of shots and a nice meal together. We had a good time and talked for real about real life stuff. Had some good laughs. She's an awesome adult now that I legitimately love spending time with...but I realized..
I will never have a relationship like this with my parents. This church prevents that. I can't be an adult around them. Infantilization is real. I can never be myself around them. Every single decision is judged through the lens of the church. Doesn' matter that I am legitimately happy for the first time ever. Its all judged as either a win or a loss. Bad or good. No one can just be happy, relax and just be in the moment . Ever. Makes me sad that we will never really 'know' each other on that level...but as for me and my family, this is a judgement free household & we certainly damned will."
I just brought my wife a $8k ring, my kids a 12V Mercedes, new bikes, paid for my daughter's summer camp, ballet classes, giant doll house, new Ipads, new bedroom suit,
I guess my one and only question here would be, "Why?"

My kids? It was their birthdays which are pretty close together and I knew they'd love the car. Seeing them happy makes me happy.
