<prompt> Human: I have two kids in gymnastics and its costing me about 150month each. They are both in need of braces, and monthly payments will be approximately the same. I cannot afford 600 a month for orthodontic payments and gymnastic lessons for two kids. Should this be my choice which I would choose orthodontics? Or let them choose?Note: Gymnastics is just a recreational sport for them. Its not an I want to go to the Olympics goal for them. Im afraid if I let them choose, I may be disappointed, as kids often make irrational decisions.  <response>: No, you absolutely dont let the kids choose.You are their parent. That means Its your job to make the tough decisions based on what will benefit them best in the long term. Its also your job to explain why so that theyll learn how to make good choices when theyre adults.But you explain in terms of something like 10 years from now, this choice will pay back better than this one ... not in terms of well, heres my vote, what do you kids vote?
