chuckle for the day
this came to me in an email. it took two hours for someone to come in and tell them how to spell peonis. Think about how many people's days were brightened by a chuckle passing by it.ARRRGGHHH!
Ok, everybody I want everyone to drink one adult beverage for me tonight. Don't want to get into it but it has been a HELL of a day. One word will sum it up. Teenagers! Bottoms up everyone.sprintime
Aw springtime is in the air, the flowers are blooming, grass is once again green, birds are fluttering around "twitterpated - in the words of thumper the rabbit", billies are chasing the nannies around, babies are popping up in the fields everywhere frolicking to and fro. What a great time of the year, makes me thankful for all that I have! Love to you all...Isn't it funny....
Back when I was a senior in high school and was dating a guy a year older than me that my parent's didn't like, my mom threatened to put a restraining order on him so that I wouldn't go to prom with him. I was furious with her and swore that I would never do anything like that to my kids - they could date anyone that they wanted to.Fast forward twenty some years.....
Isn't it funny how we, as parents, do something to our kids that our parents did to us and we SWORE that we would never do to our kids.
Ok, I just won the "bad mommy award" again this morning! Just add another emerald to my crown.
Here's the scenario. My 15 year old daughter was going out with a kid we'll call Chuck. Went out with him for about 6 months maybe longer in junior high the best I can remember. They broke up several times and the last time she was heartbroken to the point of talking about suicide - a parents worst nightmare. Because of this we came up with the "three strikes you're out" rule and consequently said that she could not see him. And if we found out she was we would take her out of the public school she was in and enroll her in a private girls school. Meanwhile he was overheard by my other daughter and a couple of other kids badmouthing my daughter (names, insults, insinuations, etc). When we found this out it pretty much sealed the coffin on whether she would be able to date him ever again or not.
Fast forward to two days ago. I haven't heard anything about this boy for about two years, she has been in "love" with three other guys for extended periods of time and suddenly ny daughter hands me this note before school BEGGING me to let her date him again. He didn't say all those things, everyone else is lying - you get the picture. I talked it over with my hubby and we both agreed that it still wasn't a good idea.
I told her this morning that she couldn't date him and she even went as far as having a "friend" text me to his trustworthiness. I am pretty sure the "friend " is his sister. I told her that she could date him when she turned 18 and after she graduated. So now I am the BAD, BAD, BAD, mommy once again. I haven't had the crown on for awhile so I guess I was about due.
She is a great kid. Doesn't get into trouble, Brings home great grades, has goals for her future, etc. I just don't want to OK this relationship and then go through the drama again. I don't think that I could handle it again.
Did we do the right thing?
