One crucial life skill is being able to distinguish between needs and wants. I have tried explaining this to my kids so many times but they still don't seem to get it.

For example, my wife WANTED me to clean the kitchen but I just cleaned it last month so I don't NEED to clean it again right away. On the other hand, I have never read the Czarface graphic novel so I NEEDED to buy it just now.

It's so simple. I don't understand why they keep getting confused. 🤷‍♂️
