My DD kept asking me how much i make exactly. I told her enough that we can pay the bills, do some extras and take a vacation each year. I do review with her what things cost, like electric bill, gas, groceries etc but I do not tell her my salary. To me that is very private info. I don't want her going around telling her friends or my friends.
This morning she got really mad and said her teacher said by this age if the kids don't know how much their parents make there is something wrong.
I never had a clue how much my dad made. Never asked. I knew he worked hard and money had to be managed but I knew i had a roof over my head, clothes on my back and food.
I think the teacher is wrong to make that judgement call. Am i totally off base?
