Those parents who fight all their children's battles, are they really teaching them anything, or are they enabling their children? There are definitely times when our children need help and I am not talking about any child under the age of 12. I'm talking about our pre-teen, adolescent and young adult children who should know the difference between right and wrong. There are numerous selfish, self-absorbed and incapable young adults and teenagers out there who feel like we owe them the world and I'm suggesting it's because we, as parents, have done everything for them, given them everything they asked for, and won't acknowledge when they screw up...so in fact, we have created these low relationship functioning adults because we have more than paved the way for them to feel self-righteous.
Cody is downstairs taking some tests and continuing education that is due on Wednesday; with the economy the way it is there is more then enough for the professionals in his business to keep busy with, look over and ponder. Samuel went back to school today after being home for two and a half days with a fever virus, but he was more than ready to go to school today. During the wee hours of Sunday night his fever broke causing him to sweat profusely all over his pillow, and his pajamas while his head looked as wet as if he just got out of the shower. Isaac is playing with Mickale and Maliya (the little girls I watch); although I think he may be bugging Mickale more than actually playing. He's trying to show her how the toy she has in her hands works and she is not having it; she wants to do her own thing with this particular toy and Isaac just won't have any of that either. He has to make sure she knows how it is SUPPOSED to work. Oh my! ~
