Re: difficult private matter with our pre-teen | | Well you say things like the last post, you do seem more normal and not crazy. lol The first post, in my opinion, was just rude. sorry. Yes I do believe this father made a mistake in parenting, then again he knows he made a mistake and now he is trying to fix it. Thats what parenting is about, learning from your mistakes not indulging in them.
And I do know some very consistent very involved parents and the child has gone the wrong way. It happens unfortuanatly. All we can do is our best and hope our best is enough. There are also many adults who were great kids, good grades, never yelled at their parents, then they go away to college or whatever and its all down hill. |
