World's Worst Parents Refuse To Tell Their Kids They Won The Lottery Because They Don't Want Them To Grow Up To Be Waiters

Source - A recent caller on The Ramsey Show claimed he hasn’t even told his teenage children about his $22-million jackpot win two years ago.

“My wife and I made a conscious decision just to keep it under wraps,” said the caller, who used the pseudonym John. “We just don’t want them to grow up to be waiters — waiting for us to die.”

The comment made host Dave Ramsey burst into laughter. But John’s decision was based on research he did following his big win. 

“One of the things they all say is they told too many people and had too many people turning up at their door asking for handouts,” John said. 

His approach to his windfall should keep his family in good financial shape going forward.

Let me tell you something right now. If I found out my parents had won a $22 million lottery and not told me...I'd put them in a home so fast their heads would spin. "Yeah I don't know doc, my parents have been acting crazy lately. My mother things it's 1974."  If you thought Britney Spears had it bad, wait until you see what I'd do to Mr. and Mrs. McAuliffe. 

I mean what the fuck are these people thinking? You have such little trust in your children that you're afraid they're going to be unmotivated scumbags the rest of their lives? Because you won the lottery? Don't get me wrong, $22 million is a lot, but we're not talking billions here. Set up a trust, have a conversation and everyone walks away happy. And yeah, maybe your kids weren't counting down the days until you die then, but they definitely are now. It's amazing how stupid some people can be. 

And by the way, what's wrong with being a waiter? Sure, you'll probably live in poverty the rest of your life but it's an honorable living. Much more honorable than lying to your kids about life altering wealth. That's it for this one. Thanks for reading.
