Recently I had been too busy with work and my son asked me to 'Play with him' during working from home and I said I am at work so I get free I will, he kept on asking 'R u working so you can buy me toys'? I don't know where he got the concept but I think It is not right to feed him that 'yes I am working to get buy you toys' because it is same like saying to him 'I m working so I can pay bills' when he doesn't have an understanding of how the world works and I do not want him to grow up that even he doesn't want to work in a job he doesn't like he has to, to earn bread and butter.
Or am I thinking too much? I like to rephrase things I say to my son so he grows up not being materialistic and working for things is sort of materialistic for me as I choose my career out of passion and despite so many failures I love and grow with it.
