My daughter asked me this. How would you explain wealth inequality to a 12-year-old?
For context: ex-wife cheated on me and married this extremely wealthy Chinese guy. Crazy wealthy as in entire apartment building in Beijing’s CBD and a mansion out in the Shunyi district as his “main residences”. Daughter lives in China with my ex-wife, her husband and his son. Daughter lives with me during school breaks / holidays.
It pisses me off when people say stuff like “they won’t understand” something because they are too young.
Are we just going to wait to teach them until after they should know it already, or are you just too lazy to frame it in an age appropriate way and spend time explaining?
They learn stuff they don’t know at school presumably all the time.
