my preteen gave me money for food. She had jobs in the neighborhood and we used that for food.

I don't feel bad about that. We help each other. I think this taught her valuable lessons. I'm proud of the fact that we did it ourselves.

We are lucky and not poor anymore. When it comes to her going to college - I've got it.

I honestly don't have a single regret that she helped. Those were terrible times, but we did it.

Best lesson in the world for her.
