You have made the hardest decision now is the time to see if over time it reaps rewards. Although your bare the brunt of all these trials, you have us all in your corner, cheering you on, go Mandy, go. If you ever need someone to talk about drugs with you or the kids, I am more then willing I have seen the worst on the frontline of teen drug use and how easy it is for 'normal' healthy kids to destroy their lives and futures.But hopefully, this won't be necessary, and you will find life is improving.<BR/>xxx StarrtStarryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02206613832444557494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-937553414657234171.post-80230514132642170682009-02-15T10:02:00.000+10:302009-02-15T10:02:00.000+10:30Hi Kim....It is worrying times with the young gene...Hi Kim....<BR/>It is worrying times with the young generation....A lot stems from them watching too much American tv....Especially when it comes to "crews"....They copy thinking it`s cool .....<BR/>Well yesterday I saw my boy being a kid, first time in a long time....Glad he remembers how to be one actually.....<BR/>Sometimes you can`t blame the parents, sometimes!!!!!.....mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13138167666782938794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-937553414657234171.post-64997555010487432292009-02-14T23:07:00.000+10:302009-02-14T23:07:00.000+10:30I am loving the new template....must go off and ha...I am loving the new template....must go off and have a look at the options...<BR/><BR/>Boy...you cant take a trick can you....hope things get sorted....especially in Daniels case, he has so long to go (of his childhood I mean)<BR/><BR/>I was shocked big time this week, witnessing a child who had been suspended from our primary school, attempting to hide a spray can - where does a 10/11 yo get it from?

Speaking to Haydn's daughter Alex yesterday and she is already having trouble with Khi who is only 8. Alex says 'no respect for himself or his things.' Somehow I suspect there is so much more to it as it seems to be commonplace these days.<BR/>I do hope that having the opportunity to be 'one on one' with his Dad will benefit Joshua. Of course getting away from the girlfriend could also be beneficial...<BR/>You take extra special care of yourself at this time and I know things will work out with Daniel.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01334065619837967170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-937553414657234171.post-14116480998764721712009-02-14T15:08:00.000+10:302009-02-14T15:08:00.000+10:30Oh thanks Kym....I suppose there is always one chi...Oh thanks Kym....I suppose there is always one child who won`t conform to the rules...I`m picking up the broken pieces that are left behind now (meaning Daniel) and try to rectify what I can with him...Hopefully not too much damage has been done...<BR/>I do hope you are right though and he does want to see me again...mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13138167666782938794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-937553414657234171.post-91352661802076746962009-02-14T13:53:00.000+10:302009-02-14T13:53:00.000+10:30Mandy, you're doing the best you can..the best any...Mandy, you're doing the best you can..the best any parent could do. I don't comment much on these things because my D3 ran off the rails no matter how hard I tried to prevent it.. My big sister told me not to worry! She said as long as you've raised them well, they will always come back to what they know. <BR/>D3 has come back, and realised her mistakes. Im sure your boy will do the same. <BR/>You sound like you need a cuddle and kiss... go find that man of yours and collect!!
