Question to parent's.............when one parent calls another where there children are dating and ask permission if one child picks the other up from work and what is the other child in questions curfew.............is that a bad thing??????????????
Apparently it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!! More importantly both children are being accused of putting mother in question "aka me" up to a blind issue. Hello Has ANYONE MET ME????????????????
As every day passes, I find it harder and harder to understand this "Texan" lifestyle. I was raised in a small town, knowing each other's business wasn't a bad thing, okay at times it was, but when chidren are involved, it was a good thing! Yet, "Texan's" seem to think their business is their business and if you child is involved well so be it.....I DON"T FUCKIN" THINK SO!!!!
Regardless my issues with my children, hubby and or family, at the end of the day, don't ever think you have the right to know me well enough to say bad things about any of the above. And the day you do, you had damn sure make sure you have your glass house built solid before casting the first stone!!!
I guess what is so bothersome to me about issues I haven't gone into here is I see both kids so happy and yet both beaten down. In my limited eye sight of a mother of two that is wrong...I"m sorry I don't have a basketball team of kids to widen my eyesight. But what I see are two kids that have their heads screwed on straight regardless of parental behavior or lack of parential support and are searching to find their way in love and other wise.......
Someone please just answer me this...........when does one wake up?

Jamie, there was a time when the entire community watched out for children, nationwide. A kid couldn't misbehave without a neighbor or pastor or teacher correcting them AND bringing it to the attention of their parents. It made for a nosey neighborhood, but it also made for safe children.
I think it's a shame that we have drawn away from that sense of community. It's clear that kids are in more danger now.
If I had kids who were playing out of my sight or off swapping spit, you can be sure I'd want to know as much as possible about their friends and their family, before I let my kid go off with them. I see nothing wrong with asking your own child what his plans are, how or where he can be reached, and what time he expects to be home. I realize that it's the obligation of teenagers to circumvent parental over site, but that doesn't mean we give them free reign to do as they please unguided.
That woman is crazy Jamie. Wacked!
