Man..............O............Man
You know how crazy things are getting.
Right is wrong, wrong is right.
The world is turned upside down.
As a teacher of many different ages of children, I see two mistakes made over and over
again. Parents YOU are in charge.........YOU must step up to the plate and PARENT.
#1 YOUR children MUST respect you. They need to be mindful that YOU are their parent
NOT their friend. YES.......there are many times that my kids and me just hung out for the sake
of having fun. It was special and fun and lots of wonderful times. BUT.........when I needed
them to do what I said, the parent hat was put on and they MUST obey me.
OR
Things were taken away, (tv, computer, phone, car...etc) yep.
You know the saying, "when Mama ain't happen........no one will be happy"......JUST do
what your Mama says..........she and your Daddy are in charge of you ! Really ! They are, by
God's own design ........your God given bosses ! See the Commandments..........yes, those Ten Commandments. I rest my case.
2. TEACH YOUR CHILDREN that........You may not have everything you want.
So work for them. Yes, if you don't get an allowance from your parents, work for them or someone in your neighborhood to get money by doing things. (Mowing lawns, baby sitting, dog walking.......when your times comes get a job ! YES it helps shape you as a person and YES your get MONEY !!! You can buy YOUR OWN THINGS !!! If you parents want to buy you Levi jeans and you want designer jeans, work out a deal with them .......the money they would spend + YOUR money can buy you your special; jeans, shoes, games etc. It works for me and should with your parents too.
Word to the wise, resale shops have fancy stuff and way better prices. Also Goodwill and Salvation
Army have wonderful things too. (special note Everything is halfprice on Wednesdays at Good
will.........yup)
Teach you children to be a good person. "Be Good to your parents and they'll be good to you." .
Thats all !
