"They're comfortable"

Quote From: housewife52

I do not think the government should decide whether or not baggy pants should be worn. I have never understood why in the world boys would want to wear thier pants that way. They generally are holding them up while navigating through the day. My son always favored a western cut of jeans. ALL of his friends black and white favor the baggy pants. At our local high school, there is a dress code, prohibiting baggy pants among other things. But it has never been enforced. Most of the boys seem to like the baggy pants.(black and white) As far as I know, there has not been a problem with anyone hiding weapons in thier pants.

I just think we need to be careful about what we accept that our government is going to dictate.

 A few years ago while using the local public transit as I often do, there was a young man who was very pleasant and we began to talk while waiting for our stop. He was wearing the baggy pants, and so as I had often wondered why so many young men wear them, I asked him, "Why?". His response, which seemed to be an honest answer was a good one. His answer was, "Because they're comfortable".

Looking back, I remember my brother and some of his buddies wearing similar during the summer. Cut offs mostly. I think it must have been comfortable. And male bonding maybe. Not such a bad thing, mostly!

P.S. My brother is a white man!!

Love

If I were a young man

Quote From: razaltm200

     Iam  divoced since 2005.My son chose to stay with his dad.

Now my son tells me why...He said because Dad doesn't care about where I go What I do,And besides that He (dad) is never home.My son is now 19 as of October.All his growing up years he never had friends.He was always quiet and very nice and polite.He now hangs around kids I don't like at all.

He is now on probation ,he was caught with pot in his car.His Father is a heavy user and leaves it all around the house.My son talks to me saying that when he was nice nobody gave him a second thought.That's why he does the things he does.He swore to me he will never do anything bad again.He learned his lesson.I'm still worried.He does not have a job,I think it has alot to do with how he feels about himself.He made though HS by the skin of his teeth,I' sur he is afraid,Altough I tell him eveyone is afraid when they first get a job,But it doesn't seem to do anygood.What else can I do?He won't talk to a therapist about his issues.He really is a good Kid It breaks my heart to see him like he is now.

Feeling love for each of my parents, but without a plan for myself, other than to please iether one or both without excluding myself, I might feel a bit confused. My love for my own parents was the absolute foundation of my life from the very beginning. As well as their love for me, which had to be shared with siblings of my own, and extended family that lived far away, but was clearly a comfort from a distance. Still I was right there, feeling that there must be something more to all of this.  Both parents having jobs, careers, and we were fortunate in what was concidered at the time to be an upper middle class social environment.  Older brother growing a pot plant on the patio roof, thinking he was hiding it. Geez were my parents so happy to know that, pot was the only thing big brother was experimenting with!  They actually sat and smoked some with him, had some bonding, and not yet a regret. None are pot smokers today, still we know that no one is perfect in the world.

Dad's are terrific , and one day, with a blessing at hand, your son will become a fantastic dad too!

Mom's are pretty terrific too!!!!!!!!! Love
