My dearest son and daughter,
The story of New Jersey high school student Rachel Canning suing(起诉) her parents for child support and high school education inspired me to write you a little letter.Let me just put this out there:the only way I expect to see you in a court is as a lawyer or a judge.
There are two things about this case that seem to be disaster.
First,it's natural for parents and children to argue.I can guarantee that we will disagree.One or both of you will,at some point,scream at the top of your voice the various ways you hate me.And I won't always like you,either. But I will always love you and do everything I can to keep your best interests as my focus,even when I'm so angry.We are family.That means we are as much a part of one another as the flesh,blood and bones in our body.And we all should think about it very deeply instead of breaking that bond.
Second,to be honest,no matter how far apart we are on your life choices,your father and I will most certainly pay everything we can for your higher education.But that doesn't mean you deserve it. To be clear,that is a privilege (优待) we happily extend(给予) to you-not a right you are born with.And you will have to work hard to earn that privilege.Growing up is hard work.
If I do my job properly as your mother-and you do yours as my children-you would sooner get a job or two,and find a way to make your dreams come true rather than go to trial(接受审判) over what you think you are entitled to.
Love always,
Mom
