I'm not here to be ...You know how I feel AJK!! I'm not here to be a friend to my kids. I'm here to be their parent. If that means I make decisions they do not like, I do not care. My job is to teach them about character, responsibility, manners and respect all while keeping them safe. Yes, it does mean they have to do things on their own in situations to allow them to make good choices. But that needs to be within the parameters of what we as parents deem to be within a safe environment. Unfortunately, that means they are going to be frustrated in a majority of decisions that are made on their behalf. This does not bother me. I simply look forward to the years after they turn 25 and beyond when they're finally mature enough to look back and thank me for the decisions I made on their behalf before they were 25. So hang in there AJK, you did the right thing.Brinxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08513594457348469520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4464610606801729633.post-2827677921964982172011-02-14T19:22:36.930-08:002011-02-14T19:22:36.930-08:00i agree with you, this is on bannas google account...i agree with you, this is on bannas google account i don't have one, nancAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13912451454988394196noreply@blogger.com
