It's all parenting bro, I feel secure really. My boys aren't perfect but they are strong enough not to fall to peer pressure on that stuff. Sex is the one thing that has been the thing that got them both both into a snafu. My oldest got caught ditching cross country practice by the cross country team because he was out banging his girl in the bushes behind the school. lol The younger one just always wants to one up the older. They don't have the freedom of mobility and lack of parental oversight that these other kids have so I just get "the other kids" stories. My boys have life ambitions and an uncle that doesn't, whom also shows what drug and alcohol addictions play out like in life. I think it all comes back to being involved in the day to day with your kiddos, kids learn quick. There's all manner of shit for a person to deal with in life right? I feel like it's better not to shelter them because they will have to deal with these things eventually anyhow.
I feel ya though reefB! Totally off subject, hey mandidn't you have some spectras you were going to get rid of?
I fully fucking agree on this one. The best parent you can be is a parent who is there all the time, talking, and being honest. Yeah, there is a lot of shit out there. That is a given. And like you said, your kids are going to find it anyway. Better that they get "your" take on it rather than "theirs." There will always be people who lead by bad example (my mother in law is one, too), and those are the people that teach the tough lessons to our kids. I just hope my mother in law can pull her shit together enough to the point where we'll let her see our daughter in person. Every time she gets clean, it's just so she can knock her tolerance down in order to be able to "get high" again. So lame.
Caveman! Hope you're doing ok... that the para has worn off a bit. It won't completely
though. And don't let it... be smart. You know what you're doing. Can't believe that beesh did that to you, though. Pretty fucked, imo. She sounds like a handful...
Any more luck cracking those beans? Did you try scuffing the shells at all? Emory board in a matchbox was what I heard works well. . .
zing zing zing up up and away . . . this coffee is doing the trick. Hope you're well brother!
