Meaning
This is a warning about postponing a hard truth until the last possible moment. It can be taken to mean that families need early, practical conversations about money, because delay shrinks choices and raises pressure. It lands most clearly when a parent is planning for education and realizes that honesty matters more than avoiding discomfort.
