Being An Irresponsible Parent...

Caleb is 100% correct about this, and it's not even questionable. It's one thing for a parent to really try to prevent this and fail compared to just not really trying, but a son especially is going to make sure their parents are taken care of, even to sacrifice aspects of their own life if they're raised right, regardless if the parents intentionally instilled that in their kid or not.

If their parents can’t financially support themselves there’s a near 100% chance their kids won’t be able to support them, or theirselves, either. Financial irresponsibility is almost always a perpetual cycle passed down from parents to kids.

Ah well. He doesn’t believe it

Ah shit

But I did eat breakfast!
