How do you keep your kids safe? How do you educate them to make smart choices? How do you protect them from themselves? How do you keep them from "budding-up" with those kids who make the dumbest choices and draw your kids into their dumbness?
Even if you have done all you can, talk talk talk. Call in, check in, drive around looking for them, keeping tabs CONSTANTLY, BEING AWARE AND BEING PRESENT in their lives, terrible things are pounding them from all directions.
I am so angry right now. My kids ARE good kids. They haven't broken any laws. They don't steal, lie, cheat and haven't committed any FELONIES. I can and AM proud of them. I try hard to be a GOOD parent. Maybe I am not SUPER MOM. I am not on the PTA, or the "BOOSTER" club, I don't coach every team sport they decide to play in. I don't volunteer too much at the school. I don't throw them expensive parties. I don't spoil them. They work. They work for what they want to have. They do chores NOT for an "ALLOWANCE" but because they a APART of this family, this house and are EXPECTED to help. They are EXPECTED to give what ever they do their best shot. They are EXPECTED to be polite.
I am angry because I am raising them in a world where kids who are mean, felons, bullies do get away with it. Sometimes even rewarded instead of disciplined. Those kids who's parents aren't present. who don't care, who LET their kids be complete and utter IDIOTS. It even extends past high school, to those parents who let their ADULT children live at home, not work, drive without a licence because they have gotten SO MANY DUI's their licence has been remove. THOSE parents who continue to ENABLE their ADULT CHILDREN'S IRRESPONSIBLE BEHAVIOR.
THESE parents themselves have NO PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. Blame others for their own short comings, their "bad luck", the job they got fired from is someone else's fault. If they get pulled over by the police, it's those rotten cops that make their lives worse.
AAAAHHHHHGGGGUUUUUUGGGG!!!!
