Is A Good Education Enough?

[chrissa1]

We have given both our children the best education we could afford. Our son went to the best Prep School in our area and got into one of the best fee paying schools also. He had ability but didn't apply himself and therefore didn't get very good GCSE's.
We had our own business and gave him a job in it with the intention of him taking over from my husband when he retired. This didn't work either.
Sadly we lost our business some years ago and things have been tough. My son now has a little girl and a fairly good job, but himself admits that he "mucked up" his life. My husband is in line to win some large orders and so we will be making money again. My son is expecting us to hand over a fairly hefty sum to get rid of his debts.
Does anyone think that we have done enough for him? I'd appreciate your thoughts.

The hardest thing you can do for your child is to make life easy for them .

Based on what you have shared, I believe you're just being a good Mom. However, your son has his own family now. He must learn how to be a good father to his kid and a good husband to his wife. You and your husband had raised him well. And what's happening to your son's life right now is no longer your fault. The best thing you both should do is to just let your son find a way to get himself out of the debt that he also made. It's no longer your responsibility. Let him stand on his own feet. He will realize your true intentions in the end. And in all of these, don't forget the power of prayers. Lord will not let your healthy family become ruined. He will find a way to solve all your problems. Just be brave and have faith. Media URL: http://www.sixwise.com/
