We have a love hate relationship, I am judgmental and a parent
We also have a rule,,,,,above anything else,,,if you are in trouble CALL,, no questions asked, no matter the time or circumstance, we will answer and come.
We can give advise, it's your choice to heed or ignore it.
I do not have an angel,,,,I have a daughter with a will of her own and choices that belong to her.
To add to this...
True...I'm not my kids Bestie,
I'm their parent...Biggest Allie, worst enemy...Its my job to make sure they get old enough to be wise...
(Never confuse, Wisdom, Education and Intelligence...that's 3 different things)
When they don't at least listen to my advice, they've promoted themselves above their pay grade... I hope they are prepared to deal with the consequences...I'll help, but its them that has a problem...
As far as the CALL...Thats a standing SOP...It also works for any kid who knows me to include my friends kids...I will come, bring hell with me to protect them...No questions...
but 24 hr rule applies...In 24 hrs we will discuss what happened...
I dont want an Angel...I want a smart, sharp young woman who has a will, and makes wise decisions on her own...not somebodies patsy...or victim
