Quote From: feng456ya uh first keep him away from the knife kid...not he best influence....plus things could happen and hospitals arent around that much (as far as i know) in the country
he should have an appropriate social life. its important the friends he makes because it WILL leech off whether its good or bad behaviour so keeping his best interests in mind i think the guilt will go away (a bit anyway) and i dont think hes too old to spend some time with his mum....
and i think you already know the answer to that question about whether you're bad for not letting him go somewhere all the time. but just so you would hear it from someone else YOU ARE NOT BAD
good luck and have fun parenting
Yup that knife kid is something else. Seems they think he is mature enough to have knives. Not just a pocket knife...but a knife collection. My boy came home one day saying this boy chased him with a knife. I lost it and told the Grandparents and they grounded him from his knives. How long that lasted is beyond me. My boy will be 9 in a week and he has a knife. A small pocket knife that's kept in his tackle box. dang, kids these days scare me.
I think my kids have plenty enough of a social life and he has lots of cousins around here if he gets lonesome. I am very proud of my boy's personality and attitude but I do notice changes after he spends time with these other kids. I don't want them to change him at all...I was actually hoping that he could influence the other boy, who has led a troubled life...but seems that will risk my son so it's over.
Well, it was over until yesterday...seems the two boys had trouble at school yesterday.
Thanks for replying...I guess I'm just venting off some steam...have a good day. :o)
