I remember my mum was so strict on me and what I could do, that I just rebelled in a big way. I won't be like that with my kids. I will trust them until they do something that makes me question that trust. Good luck, it sounds like your eldest is on the right track anyhow by focusing on her studies x Fleur - Our Urban Boxhttp://www.oururbanbox.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6733055991945339231.post-88588492818340569882015-04-04T11:07:11.574+11:002015-04-04T11:07:11.574+11:00I am really glad to hear that Nicole.

However, I can now speak with a little experience and say, that if you have taught them well, they cope quite well. Certainly we are all individual and times will trial them, but, I really find with the good base to come back too, they find their way. xxxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07760396172298048256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6733055991945339231.post-43682855518505947792015-04-04T04:55:26.754+11:002015-04-04T04:55:26.754+11:00Interestingly enough, last night my husband and so...Interestingly enough, last night my husband and some of his friends were out at his parents' last night (I stay with them during the week & husband came up for his dad's Easter performance). They were all laughing about the drinking and drugging and shenanigans of their youth and how his parents didn't know about any of it. His dad jumped in and said, "Do you think I was that stupid? I was always watching you - even when you weren't here, I knew. And I let you think you were getting over on me because I knew you weren't in any real danger and if you had been, I'd have stepped in. We trusted y'all to not be dumbasses, and you're not." <br /><br />They are all pretty well-adjusted and productive members of society - some parents with their own worries. Sometimes we lose our way a little bit but when we have a good foundation, we find our way back. They'll be fine...and if our parents are any indication, so will you ;) Jenhttp://www.piercedwonderings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6733055991945339231.post-80925628978060914642015-04-03T21:52:53.787+11:002015-04-03T21:52:53.787+11:00We don't have kids but this would be the thing...We don't have kids but this would be the thing that would scare me senseless if I did. I've seen how my own mum worried about me as I grew up, in fact, she still does and I'm almost 44! Cripes! I'm scared for you too. If it's any consolation, I'm sure you'll be totally chilled by the time your youngest hits 18. By then, you'llhave had years of practice! xSammie @ The Annoyed Thyroidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12096693206213693504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6733055991945339231.post-52779072271921425902015-04-03T21:49:37.503+11:002015-04-03T21:49:37.503+11:00I'm way scared for you!
