My wife just informed me that…
1. She can implement Systems at home too… but kids don’t buy in to them
2. She can’t “fire” our kids when they don’t buy in to the Systems
3. She never hired those kids in the first place
4. But bribing kids (and employees) always works well
Uh huh

Bribing employees and kids will only work in the short term but not in the long term. Eventually, both will say “what have you done for me lately” expecting another bribe.
It is better to reward based on performance and do it on a consistent basis.

As usual, you are correct, Dad.
I’m going to miss your wisdom when you retire completely (maybe you can just keep posting comments on my blog).
