How much does your time cost? / mingle # 17 post 8

This is not only for children, but also for parents, partners, friends etc.  remember, if you are not in your job, you can be replaced... but from your family, you are unique 

I hope this post is read by the correct people

Daddy!!! I was waiting for you!!

it is late, you should be sleeping

daddy... can I ask you a question?

How much do you earn per hour?

father: this is not of your business, why do you ask me that!?

son: sorry...  I just wanted to know

if you really want to know, I earn 100 dollars the hour (the amount can change according the country)

daddy... can you lend me 50 dollars? (the amount can change according the country)

if the only reason you asked me was to ask me fo rmoney and buy a toy or any other silly thing!

go to your room!! you are grounded!!!

when the father calmed down a bit, thought a bit and realized that maybe his son wanted to buy something important.   he never used to ask for money, so, he went to his room

I had been thinking and I guess I was too harsh on you

here are the 50 you asked me for

thank you daddy!!

I really appreciate it!  I wll put it under my pillow

Wait a minute!!!

why do you need money if you already have it

because I didn't have enought money, but now, I do

daddy, now I have 100 dollars, can I buy one hour of your time?

please... come back eary tomorrow... I really want to have dinner with you

the father was devastated, he gave his sun a very strong hug and begged for his forgiveness 

you can always earn money, but you can't recover time

to be in the memories of your children in the future, you have to be in their lives today.

your kids will be small for a short time
