I try to stress to my children that buying something never leads to true happiness.
I guess when you are left on your own, you find your true potential. I remember my father never came to our school even once.

If I want to tuck my son into bed and read him a story, but that means I have to take a red-eye to get to a concert - which I would never think of doing otherwise - that's just the way it is. Even if I can't hit the note that night, I got to tuck my child in!
