However the ramnifications of this action is quite severe legally and morally.<br /><br />My dad would have probably belted me in the mouth for that suggestion if it ever came up back then too but he was always open to my ideas to make money if it meant I had to work for it legally.<br /><br />He even supported me in my racing ventures as a teen ager as long as it was mot on the streets.photogrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05149737419546300220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7938384930900615101.post-7526341331537988952010-03-03T12:57:55.962-08:002010-03-03T12:57:55.962-08:00God bless you Tracy.

My dad would have punched me square in the mouth if I had proposed that idea!<br /><br />We are shallow breathers by nature, and deep breathing accomplishes a number of things...not the lest to include keeping us from punching someone in the mouth.<br /><br />You know how I feel about New Age garbage...but dad sure could have been more zenful.Tony Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05525644107594362899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7938384930900615101.post-10681109006064093462010-03-03T11:11:24.001-08:002010-03-03T11:11:24.001-08:00Deborah, I think one of the difficult things abou...Deborah, I think one of the difficult things about being a parent of an adult child is that he/she is now living his/her own life and may not make the choices we know would be best. I think you're very wise indeed to remain silent (I'll bet anything he knows your values and knows what you think/believe anyway) and keep the relationship.<br /><br />May, unfortunately with this specific son, too often I've forgotten to remain silent and have gotten into useless arguments. I've got to hand it to him that he's an incredibly effective button pusher.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15692160455833039396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7938384930900615101.post-83263310950193327822010-03-03T09:52:52.424-08:002010-03-03T09:52:52.424-08:00Great message for any parent.

If parents do not learn to take a deep breath they can end in endless arguments with their children.Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10639207056324538650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7938384930900615101.post-20342686324775628362010-03-03T09:01:13.634-08:002010-03-03T09:01:13.634-08:00My son had the same idea.

No argument though, he's pretty easy going, I don't think we've ever argued.<br /><br />My oldest son is the one that pushes my buttons. My approach is similar to yours - I keep my mouth shut. I don't like his life choices, but all I can do is pray and trust in God to make those changes.Deborah Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14415814125499548149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7938384930900615101.post-13034107058551323302010-03-03T05:07:19.793-08:002010-03-03T05:07:19.793-08:00Kudos for turning it into a teaching moment.Kudos for turning it into a teaching moment.GCThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09744295225958022872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7938384930900615101.post-27529697103657986872010-03-02T23:48:54.830-08:002010-03-02T23:48:54.830-08:00You sound like a good parent.You sound like a good parent.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275456448997619944noreply@blogger.com
