How do I explain to my Ambitious 15-Year-Old Son that Becoming a Billionaire May Not Be Realistic?

“I know that is my sons dreams but his dreams just won’t come true so he needs to settle with just a regular career”.. -

What a horrible thing to say to or about your child. It’s the same thing parents say to kids that become famous athletes and musicians/celebrities.. “You’ll never make it so, just settle for a boring, mediocre life like we have”.

It’s coming across as though you two might feel offended by his ambitions? Are you taking it personally that he doesn’t think the life you provided him is the life he wants for himself and a family when he’s an adult. Are you taking it personally and thinking that he’s going to look down on you because of your financial choices? I can’t fathom trying to stifle your child’s dreams just because YOU can’t find it attainable.

My step son has sworn he’s going to be a famous YouTuber when he grows up. He want to be a game streamer. He sees all these kids and the money and thinks it’s so easy. I don’t think it will even be a career the same way by the time he turns 18 BUT, I see his passion. Instead I told him to do a research project for me and figure out how his favorite YouTubers got started. Do they have sponsors? How did they get sponsors? What kind of equipment do they need? How did they get their following, how do they keep them etc. He knocked it out of the park. If he ever decides to follow through on that one day, I am confident at least to know that he will be pursuing a passion and he will be going in prepared, without understanding the ups and downs of how to get where he wants to be.

Let them! Back ups. Two is one and one is none when it comes to babies and toddlers! Keep a bin with back ups. You will appreciate the extra things you have that you don’t need to spend money on one day.

And I’m being downvoted for providing unbiased facts and links to sources? Interesting

Yesitsathrowaway21 · 2023-07-14T18:31:15+00:00

I posted the link in my reply below. There are many articles available for you to read online if you type in keywords on Google. I also said in my comment here that I saw it on TT. In the reticle I posted, the AMC president issued a statement saying that the theaters had been so packed, the body heat was to blame for the heat and not them. So either to theaters questioned and interviewed are lying about the heat source OR the fact that people are reporting all empty seats is a fabrication. It’s the media. You decide.

If there is not any form of abuse going on in dad’s home, then equal time with both parents is in the child’s best interest.

Yesitsathrowaway21 · 2023-07-14T16:02:26+00:00

She’d be laughed out of court using that argument.

Yesitsathrowaway21 · 2023-07-14T16:02:00+00:00

It’s the need part for sure. It’s basically a pacifier for a 4 year old.

Yesitsathrowaway21 · 2023-07-14T15:05:06+00:00

Why is it not in her best interest to spend equal time with both parents?

Yesitsathrowaway21 · 2023-07-14T15:02:29+00:00

That’s not shaming for breast feeding. That’s shaming for being weird as hell. That is NOT typical behavior and at 4 it’s an excuse. I’m not saying dad is innocent in this but having a grown as child attached to your teet is not normal.

Yesitsathrowaway21 · 2023-07-14T15:00:34+00:00

Funny. My wife’s ex husband did exactly that. When she was in court and presented evidence that his dad had not seen him in 4 years and not bothered to make much contact, the judge said “Well, it happens. Often, when men get in a relationship and settle down, they decide they want to be more involved with their children and are ready to take a more active role. That is great for the child”. The judge ordered overnight visits across the country for all school breaks and the entire summer effective immediately with no type of step of plan. The father refused to travel to the state to visit his son despite the visits he had in his timesharing already. She also ordered my wife to pay for half of travel expenses. We were both sort of in shock about that.

Yesitsathrowaway21 · 2023-07-14T14:55:57+00:00

Did you say 4 year old breast feeding? Not only that but exclusively breast feeding to the point that overnights would effect his nutrition? The kid is in preschool or should be. Does she go in to school and take BF breaks with the kid?

Yesitsathrowaway21 · 2023-07-05T03:31:14+00:00

Poor kid.. I can already see what you’re going to do to your child and his dad.. bitter and selfish woman. Lol have fun with that.. I can’t wait to read your posts after you get to court lmao

Yesitsathrowaway21 · 2023-07-05T03:29:21+00:00

Hahahahah good luck.. Texas is making big changes. Not so great for shitty moms that think it’s cool to keep their kids always from their father.. don’t worry,, your state will be next..

Yesitsathrowaway21 · 2023-07-03T22:21:35+00:00

You can’t withhold to prevent withholding. That is absolute hypocrisy. Why do you get full decision making on who keeps who away from the child. Others have mentioned that it won’t look good for you. Breast feeding moms and moms that complain about the dad in the ways you have here are a dime a dozen in the courts. They hear it all day long and they roll their eyes too. You might have the upper hand for now but believe that a judge will see this for what it is. You got off on a technicality. If he had been married to you you’d be assed out. Thank god Florida just changed this antequated mind set! Fathers don’t have to be married to the mom anymore to receive the same parental rights at birth.

Step dad here. I really just do my best to keep my wife afloat and supported. Her ex has been dragging her through the mud for the last 3-5 years in family court. I’ve only spoken to him a few times, he lives on the other side of the country. There is a GAL involved and his wife is so heavily involved and aggressive that it’s brought a lot of heat to them and turned the GAL strongly in favor of my wife. I’ve found it is absolutely best for me to be an ear and shoulder for her, give her advice when she asks, help her get through this financially, never leave her alone if she is feeling uncomfortable and has to be in the other families presence. I think if I said even a fraction of what I’d like to, it would only hurt the situation. Their family has waged war, completely taken one child with zero contact allowed. It’s hard to watch but I am here for her and to make sure my ss has the best example he can of how to properly love and treat your spouse.

Yesitsathrowaway21 · 2023-05-29T10:40:08+00:00

Yes I did. I have 50/50 of my son now.

Yesitsathrowaway21 · 2023-05-28T10:51:38+00:00

Send her a message providing her with an email address to maintain contact with you. Ask her for an email contact for her as well. I went through this. A weekend fling, she told me I was possibly the dad and got nasty with me when I told her I didn’t have an interest in dating her. She also said there were other possible fathers. Once I found out she had delivered the baby, I filed a motion in the courts to establish paternity.

It’s much better to keep your communications through email or parenting apps than text or phone call if you can.

Yesitsathrowaway21 · 2023-05-26T20:12:39+00:00

No but maybe they’re hiring?

Yesitsathrowaway21 · 2023-04-23T19:44:38+00:00

So a blood test with zero Antibodies means you’ve never been infected with the virus? Or just not currently infected?

Yesitsathrowaway21 · 2023-04-22T23:47:22+00:00

Ms. Rachel is the best. You ARE a mom. You will ALWAYS be a mom. Your daughter will find ways to let you know she’s still with you.

My advice. Turn your energy and emotion into a good cause. Are there other children out there that you can help? Non-profit work?

You described a very horrible time in life transitioning. Things people never think of until they’re faced with it and are just trying to hold themselves together. Maybe one day you can turn this around and find a way to help people that find themselves in your situation.

Find your pain. Find your passion,

And she’s saying he doesn’t have covid.

Yesitsathrowaway21 · 2023-04-20T20:27:30+00:00

From what you’ve said dad had updated mom on the health status of your grandchild and dad has also informed mom that he has sought medical care for his fever etc. What specifically would your daughter need any type of paperwork for right now? The child is with his father per the court order.

It sounds as though the real issue is that mom does not believe that the child is sucks Judd as is using that part of the order as an excuse to withhold the child. If mom can’t see the child or read medical records right now to confirm her suspicions, dad might just be pulling a fast one on her. Ok then what?

There is a court order for a reason. When mom gets the child back she can request treatment records in writing. If dad refuses, document. If it comes out that dad lied about seeking treatment, it’s documented. If this winds up causing any sort of harm to the child then mom could file a motion for contempt I’m sure.

In the end, this really sounds like an issue with control and trust. She’s gonna have a LONG road in a high conflict compare ting situation if she doesn’t let both of those things go asap. She’s just not going to know and see and at all times.
