It's about trusting that we've given them all the tools and that they'll come out the other end as decent people.<br /><br />My son's heart is in the right place, he just needs to learn that actions have consequences. That's the hardest thing as a parent, letting them make those mistakes and being there to pick them up when they fall.(That doesn't matter whether they're 14 months or adults)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16151064836369618082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641653493549897677.post-45571642668825964592011-04-04T19:07:34.375+09:302011-04-04T19:07:34.375+09:30I keep thinking it will be easier, but I am dreadi...I keep thinking it will be easier, but I am dreading the day when my little lad (who is now 14 months) will be going into the world by himself, and having to deal with other kids in school etc, and when we have to trust their judgement, and I guess take a step back and let them make their mistakes... can't be easy... thank you for sharing!

In fact I've shed quite a few tears today from the thoughtful comments and support coming in because of this post.<br /><br />We can only hope that our kids learn from their mistakes and that we have given them the tools to become worthwhile individuals.<br /><br />Hugs, FiAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16151064836369618082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641653493549897677.post-91499683298208918342011-04-03T14:24:31.737+09:302011-04-03T14:24:31.737+09:30Im so sorry you ahd to deal with such an error in ...Im so sorry you ahd to deal with such an error in judgement. Praie the Lord it wasnt something so much worse. Like you said a car wreck or god forbid a death. No those phone calls arent fun. Having had to deal with a few of them myself when the girls where younger. Oh you are so right much easier when they are toddlers all tucked away in their beds safely. Id say that even for my adults daughters who are now parents themselves. It is life lessons that will form them inot the strong adults we want them to be. My dad and mom use to give us enough rope to hang ourselves and then drw the line in when we went tofar. I think we all do that as parents we want to trust our little darlings. They will test the waters and we have to be there and draw the line in. Thank God he has lvoing parents that are there for him Sadly there are so many that dont. Hence a system that is full of children that just need the love and support of loving caring parents. Dont beat your self up. You are doing the best with what you know and have. Things happen for a reason and Im sure he will be a better man and that he has you and his dad will be a great support to him. I will be praying the Lords grace and protection for all and that mom and dad see that theya re doign all they possible can. Your awesome to share. I know I had a daughter that tested the water plenty.<br />BlessingsBethe77https://www.blogger.com/profile/07908965956063875893noreply@blogger.com
