Today has taught me that my eldest two children (early teens) are selfish, lazy and have no comprehension of how to act and treat people.......arseholes !!
Today has taught me that the inner cogs of BL are worked by Elves.
Specifically, Cocaine-addled Elves.
That's a bit tough ah? Sometimes kids act selfishly and that's why they need us. Specially when they are on their early teens.
I have a son at this age and have been trying to work out different things with him.
I'd suggest you try to talk to him and really listen. Sometimes they will say what we expect or even don't talk at all.
It's not easy but it's when we are 'allowed' to make mistakes rather than doing it later in life.
My kids are always teaching something. Sometimes I feel I must be more present for them, specially on weekends.
Good luck!!
Yasss and you're an elf too now my lovely Sprout! HAHAHAHAHA
Mickey: Exactly what Erikmen said. It's tough. I know, I'm the parent of two stroppy teenagers. It's not easy. Especially "the girl" on her hormonal days! MY GAWD today has been hard! They teach us to be gentle, they teach us to be kind and above all they force patience down our necks and lightning speed. Not every day is going to be perfect but tomorrow is always another day.
Be strong and if the urge to kill them becomes overwhelming PM me! They're not all bad. Somedays are actually funny. I woke up to my Sons 18 inch Starwars Stormtrooper sat in front of the telly giving me a nazi salute. I think the irony was missed on him. I found it fucking hilarious. That boy is a funny, clever little shit. They both are the jewels in my eyes! My sunshine even when they're pissing down on me.
What breed of dog do you have Smiley? I'm a huge dog fan but oddly enough don't know if I'd have one again. Mine have all been rescues and have broken my heart too many times. Same reason I won't keep rats anymore. Think I'll stick with cats.
I take it dog is fed and feet have been well rested!
I have learnt that mixing clonaz,weed and gear mean I cannot remember the vast majority of last night. At least I was at home so I know nothing bad occurred.
