Sounds like youre stressed by the bills...and who wouldnt be with 4 kids. Also part of being a good parent is making sure they dont try to be bums and live off of you. You encourage them to spread their wings, but also offer them help when they need even its conditional.

The bills are fine. The wife and I make a very comfortable living. Im thinking long-term. People who dont pay for the resources they use have little understanding of what they are using, how much they are using, and the impact of excessive use. Even if I sat them down and broke down the bills, it wouldnt resonate until they felt the financial impact. From there, they extrapolate it to their environmental impact and their duty to society to use less.

Because if the current generation doesnt learn it, there wont be a next.
