Dad tries to teach kids a lesson about gratitude... but it backfires
Updated | By The Workzone with Elana Afrika-Bredenkamp
When your kids are too smart for their own good...
Our biggest job as parents is to make sure our kids can take care of themselves.
But that's not the only thing we have to teach them, we also have to instil good values in them.
Things like kindness and gratitude are important lessons we have to teach our kids.
It helps shape how their future lives will be. As much as we must make sure they are equipped with these teachings, the truth is it's not as easy as it sounds.
One father learnt this the hard way when he tried to sit his kids down to teach them about gratitude during the festive season.
He asked them if they saw the gifts that were under the Christmas tree and, of course, they noticed.
But as he tried to explain to them the importance of staying grateful, the kids kept responding with their wittiness.
Dad tried to ignore their smart talk and pushed through with his mission of teaching them about gratitude.
But it was the last comment about dad's weight that knocked him out of the ring.
