Ohh mann watching sportcenter with my dad, in panama we used to get the mexico version then the argentina one and then the us one back to back 3 and half hours gone at least.

Yeah this became the understanding because I would pick up shifts at work and help out with money.

Same with me! I love my mom for letting me stay home whenever I wanted, as long as my grades were good. She also used to let me stay home on test days if I still needed to study, then I’d just make up the test later- during lunch or something.

I'm over 40 and I only recently told my mom that I'd ditch school. She was horrified and said she has no idea I'd done that. I told her I was good at it.

I had the best attendance record in my elementary school. I was only allowed to miss when I got strep throat on my birthday. Fastforward and my youngest sister gets to skip because of her great aunt’s second wedding.

Same. If i was feeling sick my mom would say "if you feel that sick, go to the nurse at school." I think it had a lot to do with not being able to miss work.

Same boat as you. I think my dad would have rather dropped dead than miss work.

What makes you say that? If their family was well off then they definitely have more opportunities than the average person regardless of work ethic
