If you don't get control when they are young you will not get control later. You just will not. You will be bailing them out of jail, they will be dropping out of school and you will be paying the restitution costs for the criminal damage they cause to property and persons. Some parents think when their kids are young that it is easier to give in then to fight with them, and maybe it is...but in the long run, the repercussions are not worth it. Major regrets... Major embarrassment when you have to ask a cop to try to do the job you didn't. Just sayin' |
Nana, my children are some of the best behaved kids in school, out-and-about, and at home. I've raised my oldest to 23 years old and he's a very big help to me. He does get lazy sometimes like all younins do. Same goes for my 15 year old. My little one is very respectful and well behaved...he just loves his momma to do everything for him.
I find it kind of insulting that you said "major embarassment when you have to ask a cop to try to do the job you didnt". ........I havent been a perfect mother, but I'm a d*mn good one. My kids have
never ever been involved in any legal trouble or any trouble for that matter. If your speaking in general then you shouldn't quote my post because that means your saying it to me specifically.
