Pirate Pal's Words of Wisdom.....
#1
I have never realized how many words of wisdom I give my 14-year-old daughter until she pointed it out to me the other day (through tears of laughter of course). Here are just a few that I thought were rather helpful I must say...

When addressing the fact that her boyfriend was checking out another girl, my words of wisdom was to tell him that:
:graduate: "The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, UNTIL he sees someone else playing in his yard!"


When addressing the fact that I won't let her stay out until 12:00 after a ballgame with the rest of her friends, my words of wisdom to her:
:graduate: "It's not that I am treating you like a kid, it's the fact that you are one"

When addressing the fact that she thinks I spend too much time on the computer, my words of wisdom to her:
:graduate: "It's not that I want to, but the directions said "Adult Supervision Required" so I can't leave it alone"


I'm sure have been more and there definitely will be, so I will add them on here the next time she brings it up.

:graduate: "It's not that I'm trying to run your life, it's that I'm trying to walk you down the right path"

Why can't I ride in the car with him?
:graduate: "Because your dad said that any 16 year old that drives a car nicer than the one he has must be selling drugs"

Mom, he said he loves me.
:graduate: "So do we, but you still don't do what WE want you to"

Just right off the top of my head!

Good parenting Pirate.

I know that I am still pretty young compared to alot of the members here, and let her read this if you want, but you sound like a very good mom. When I was her age I was full of "but mom", "everyone else is doing it", and "why can't I" but now I am so glad that my parents raised me the way that they did. I have grown and matured enough to see their reasoning behind not letting me go to Pikeville with the boy that was 4 years older than me, I see why I couldn't stay out as late as other people, I can see why mom wouldn't always let me stay at dances by myself, why she tried to warn me about my friends, and many, many other instances.

At the time I saw nothing wrong with what I was asking of them, but thinking back on it I know that they made these choices because they loved me. I didn't get my tattoo as earlier as everyone else, I still don't have my driver's license (but I am going very soon), they were in "my business" all of the time I thought but in doing so it has kept me off from drugs, kept me away from smoking, having sex was not even an option, getting out with my friends and getting into a car wreck because of inexperienced drivers and everything other thing that I have been protected for makes me thank and appreciate them.

Sorry that I wrote a novel but it is nice to see that their still are parents out there like mine, not just the ones that could care less what their children do and give in to every request made of their kids and never question where they are going, why, and who they will be with.

Your daughter will grow up to be a very nice, mature young lady if you keep raising her that way. Eventually she will see that she is so very lucky to have a mom such as you PiratePal.

CTD was an angel kid....doubt if he really has anything...he's all talk.

"Mom, it's just a beer"
OR
"Mom, It's just a party and everyone is going to be there"

Of course i was..

OK how bout this. Look for this in a couple years

Mom i'm tired of you treating me like a baby.. I'm not a baby no more.. I think if you want me to grow up and act like an adult then you should start treating me like one.. Let me be responsible for a change.. and let me make mistakes to learn from..

Mom, it's just a beer

Mom, it's just a party and everyone is going to be there

:graduate: "Did you ever stop to think that I'm not treating you like a baby by not letting you do certain things yet..I am respecting you as a young lady by hoping that you can see my point of view as an adult....besides, with all the whining you're doing right now proves to me you're still a baby"


You have to try harder than that....bring it on...next:king:

Ok. i don't know how close you are to your daughters, but let's say this scenario pops up..

Mom, I need to tell you something, but you have to understand that this was my choice, and i wasn't forced into anything.. My boyfriend and I made love the other nite.. Now before you flip your lid.. Just know that I thought this through, and i made the decision on my own. And you should respect me enough to tell you other than telling you a lie or you finding out some other way..

Not saying that this will happen.. But in case it does.. I have seen times like this.. and you seem to be a pretty good mom.. So if this case opens what do you do?

Parents don't always have total control over what their children turn out like but it is always a start. Kids start developing a good sense of what they feel is right or wrong and they grow and think about that and base decisions around it. I don't know why I am so against the things that I am because I have a good idea and it is contributed to both how I was raised, what I have saw, and how I feel about them. I don't smoke because I have seen the effects of it on people that I love, I don't do drugs because the people that could have had the world have nothing now because of them, I don't sleep around because if pregnant I wouldn't get to go to college and do everything that I wanted to do as a teenager and adult because my life was changed by the birth of a child. I would have to get a job sooner without the schooling that I want and not even in the career that I want, I would not get to travel as I plan, not have the finance that I want, etc.

Parents are so important and everyone on here that has kids know that they are impacting their children in so many ways and to you that have teenagers, give them time, let them know what other people just a couple of years older than them say now. I grew up some and see so many things in a new light and they will eventually do the same.

This one is easy....

:graduate: "As I told you before, you can tell me anything and I will love you. All I can hope is that you made the right decision and more importantly a safe one. If you don't care, I would like to make sure that you are protected so I will take you to the doctor and start you on birth control pills and then to the drug store for condoms. I hope that it was your decision and that you feel that you made a wise one. Also, if you don't feel good about your decision then you can say no next time....I love you"


Then run to my room and cry, cry, cry!!!! LOL
