Mom here. My response to my child: \\&#8221;Sweetheart, I worked my whole life, saved carefully, and went without luxuries so you could have everything you needed. Now that I can finally enjoy the world, you expect me to put your financial mistakes ahead of my happiness? I love you, but I won\\&#8217;t spend my retirement bailing you out while I sit at home. You\\&#8217;re an adult now\u2014it\\&#8217;s time to stand on your own feet.\\&#8221;\ud83d\udc47\ud83d\udc47\ud83d\udc47"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/popularnews71.net\/#website","url":"https:\/\/popularnews71.net\/","name":"Popular News","description":"Popular News BLOG","potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/popularnews71.net\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/popularnews71.net\/#\/schema\/person\/f55ca85cd4bcb4dbdbc7850fdb55c958","name":"admin","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/df164187d96b834105a2223ed57af8aeaa0a3d4b083020a3fb75228b39834d7d?s=96&d=mm&r=g","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/df164187d96b834105a2223ed57af8aeaa0a3d4b083020a3fb75228b39834d7d?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/df164187d96b834105a2223ed57af8aeaa0a3d4b083020a3fb75228b39834d7d?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"admin"},"sameAs":["http:\/\/www.popularnews71.net"],"url":"https:\/\/popularnews71.net\/?author=2"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/popularnews71.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35625","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/popularnews71.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/popularnews71.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/popularnews71.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/popularnews71.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=35625"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/popularnews71.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35625\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":35627,"href":"https:\/\/popularnews71.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35625\/revisions\/35627"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/popularnews71.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/35626"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/popularnews71.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=35625"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/popularnews71.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=35625"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/popularnews71.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=35625"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
