Re: Pivot Points?
Hi
We have brought our kids into life.
Our job to look after them.
As Ruthio said, you love them and let them go.
They make choices which may not be those we make ourselves.
They are not clones, they are individuals.
Love them and support them in their decisions.
That to me, is parenting.
It is at times hard, but we bring them up as individuals.
My daughter got involved with an absolute prat.
I could have easily kicked him from here to kingdom come.
I was so sorely tempted.
Hard though it was, I desisted, she learnt a valuable lesson.
She is a better person for it.
It was her decision to leave the relationship, not mine.
I must admit however to getting involved after she made the decision.
I do not take kindly to threats against my kids.
That is just being a Dad, such is life.
