You have inspired me
Quote From: shelly_80YOU DESERVE A MEDAL!!!! That is the sweetest thing I've read on here in a long time. I especially loved the "cooking capabilities" part. Your boys will make two women extremely happy one day. Keep up the good work. I truly believe parents who don't take the initiative to teach their children these values, they really are doing their kids a dis-service. It not only allow them to take pride in theirself but gains the respect from others. Not to mention, teachs them how to survive in the "real word" the right way.
I appreciate you for instilling that in your boys because in doing so, people like yourself will not have to support them forever. What I mean by that is, they will not have to depend on government welfare to survive, they already have the means and the knowledge to do it on their own.. Not that i hover, but my son is getting ready for college and he needed to give his high schools admission office envelopes with stamps in which to mail off his h.s. transcripts. The boy didnt even know where the address goes on an envelope or the location of where the stamp should be, where the return address went. I felt like a failure, i couldnt believe it. i drew him a diagram, so at least now he knows. My sons do cook but only on my direction, i have one boy who will cook for himself on the nights that me and dad are just too beat to even think of dinner. Is it too late to start? but i live in chicago and they are killing kids left and right here in the city, innocent by standers are being gunned down for no reason at all, so yes i am scared to death when they are not with me, but its something i just have to deal with and then they come home to me safe and sound. I guess i need to get more organized. they do chores, but again i have to tell them. not all the time, but sometimes.
