Do you ever just want to scream and scream and never stop?

7. Yeah.

It's different with our kids.

Siblings we will try to reason with or just set the subject aside and be family without the noise. We have our own lives and that seems appropriate even when we don't agree or are very different from each other. Our sib's crap IS NOT OUR FAULT. Unless we've done something to owe amends, who they are and what they believe is their choice and we can let it go easier.

But our kids....

WHAT DID I DO WRONG? Parents are supposed to teach kids and raise them to be responsible adults.

I taught him to think for himself.

I thought I taught him HOW to think vs WHAT to think.

But apparently blaming others for his problems is too much of a lure, he took the bait and swallowed it hook, line and sinker.


So I will do my best to redefine our relationship and put the stuff we can't agree on in a box at the door somehow so we can examine it without getting into verbal knock downs.
