OMG now I remember why we always pick on you. You were going great until you made sexist comment! My kids didn't really have a father figure in their life (at least one that disciplined them) until Mike came along 5 years ago. I think I did all right. My kids aren't little angels, but they are kids that don't get in trouble for the most part. I didn't say women can't do it..(you didn't have a choice, so you did the best that you could).. most can and I'm sure you did pretty good.... I was only meaning, I think it's more natural for Fathers to be the heavy and the one to make the kids tow the line.... I just think the father makes more of an impression on kids because of their size, deeper voice and that stare that only Fathers seem to do........ I know back when I was a kid, I may have thought about dissing my Mom, but never my Dad..and when we did, all my mom had to say was, wait till your Daddy gets home... and when he did, we got it...lol... so we didn't challenge mom anymore after that....lol... But you do have good kids.... you did well... ;D

You are right. You are a good kid, but then again you are 18 and out of school. Time to figure out what you are going to do. Work or school those are the only two options. You just thought it would be great to graduate.
Yeah Alayna, she started her job today. She got a receptionist position at a law firm downtown. She was so excited! They said she can do her college homework at the desk while she is answering the phones.

if a person can pay enough attention to "listen" to others, then they also should have enough time to "stop the approach" before they deliver the ball. the dude on thursday nights @ demon has done it plenty of times.
please no mulligans.

Why can't all the kids be like me? That's a scary thought...lol..J/K.... You are a good kid or should I say, young adult... well almost an adult, I guess you may have to wait until your 21 to be considered an adult. But there are people in this world over 30 and even over 40 that don't act like an adult, so you got a good start on many kids your age. You may think this old fashion but showing proper respect and good manners can help a person succeed in life. It helps when interviewing for a job, in getting promotions and raises at work and in return will be given respect, especially to those that can handle responsibility. Education and hard work can take you far but if you can add manners such as, even a small thing as saying Yes sir and no sir to your elders (at work) it goes a long way. It helped me a bunch. Remember us older people, are usually your age groups bosses and are old fashion and like that kind of respect given to them, in return we take a liking to you and want to help you succeed....JMO....

I know plenty of people that cannot stop their approach. Sorry, I am not for using this rule, but, if someone were to purposely yell during someones delivery, I am all for them using this rule. I think they are just protecting people from the a-holes that bowl

I did it. lol The military didn't help you change any Your still the same nerdy person now as an adult that you were as a kid working at Hurricane Bigjle will figure out what he wants to do with his life someday I know it sounds funny but it's his life let him live it As parents and adults all we can do is offer suggestions and try and steer kids in the right direction to take with their lives As adults it may seem like forever since OUR parents and their friends offered the same advice to us But most of us (ok some of y'all turned out to be successful adults with good jobs ) Jeremy will find his direction in life We all just need to be there to steer him down the right road The Ultimate journey is his to take and we'll just be along for the ride as he was along for the ride we took when he was a child Love ya Jeremy but you do need to start your journey even if it's in small steps the baby steps are gone! Get your car and then get you a job! That graduation money doesn't gain interest in a checking account

Take it from someone who is 25, still in school, and has two years to go at least! You don't want to be stuck in a rut forever.

How true XBOM, we can guide them and try to steer them in the right direction but don't forget and don't be afraid to use your parent power to motivate a young man that's letting his life get stagnate. Sure he's only 18 and now is nowhere near the time to think about it but if that day ever comes, don't be afraid to give him a quick boot in the a$$ and be a hard a$$ to get him off dead center and start growing up. Which means, if he's not going to college, getting a job that can make enough money to support himself.... I think most Dads give their sons the hard facts of reality speech when their somewhere between 21 to 24....lol...JMO...

It was around that time for me 22 or 23. Had to get out on my own, said my dad. He said if you want to come and go as you please, then you have to pay your total way to have that luxury. He was firm and a hard a$$ about it. I know it had to hurt him to do it but he knew it was for my own good to make me grow up..... I did turn out ok. So I have to say it work.....That's why I'm such a firm believer in Tough Love when it comes to kids....

I would not be any different with my own or step children..... when I love kids I don't show favorites, I love them equally. I would also be equally as tough on them as well.....
