“Why I Should Have Had More Faith in My Son” is my post today on ParentSociety.com.
When your son comes home with a bad Mid-Quarter Progress Report, how do you react? My thought processes go something like this:
In that moment, I could see my son’s whole future pass before my eyes: receives bad mid-term progress report grade– fails class – flunks out of school – starts to drink – begins dating biker chick with facial hair – turns to drugs – discovers online poker – resorts to begging for change outside a 7 Eleven.
But recently, I learned how to have a little more faith in my son, and myself. Go here to read the rest if you want to know how. It’s big, I tell you, HUGE. Well, not really, but it’s got a good beat, and you can dance to it.
Yes, best not to ever give up on your kid. He may surprise you. And certainly not announce your fears about him begging at the 7-Eleven. Though that was a funny image that you took it to. Sweet post.
Thanks! No, he never know the crazy ramblings of my mind. But, he would probably laugh, he has a tremendous sense of humor!
