You know, I came to Florida not only for me but for my son. Memphis is rated up with Detroit. It is so disturbing to see everyday I look on the news and see our young generation killing. My son in Memphis is 25. My son here with me is 14. Twin young men right there near our school killed a 22 year old. Do you think some of them wake up to thinking how can and when and how they are going to kill someone. Both sides of my family said I am too protected of Dejuan. Did anyone see the 2 young men robbed a store and got caught. They are 15 and 17. It was on the news last week. I just found out yesterday that was my husband niece son. Because I don't allow my son to come in the house when he gets ready or allow him to smoke weed. Maybe allow a girl to spend the night as though he is an adult. All of this goes on in my husband family. I want to keep Dejuan on the right track. My husband don't allow Dejuan to associate with them. He is a honor student and he plays for the AAU team and for Gotha Middle. Am I to protected. I believe I'm just trying to be careful.

your being a mom and that's what moms do. I don't allow my kids around no one who has negative vibes. Some of his classmates likes to steal and they do robbery I don't allow him to be around them or bring them to my house cause I personally they not mines but I will beat the mess out of anyone of them stealing out of my house. or call the cops I don't care if they were 10. You only doing what's best for your child.
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to raise a family this days, all this violence and lack of respect among people will scare any parent, but the word says: Start children off on the way they should go,
ReplyDeleteand even when they are old they will not turn from it
I totally agree with you Santiago. The seed that you plant in your child(ren) is going to be there now and for the rest of their lives.
DeleteShawn, I don't think you are being too protective at all. My son is 14 and thinks that he is grown already, but I still do what I can to make sure that he knows he is still a child and that what I say or do is for his good. I do realize that no matter what I do as a mother, I can't stop him from having his own "free will". I planted the seed of the wisdom I have in our faith, now it is up to him to make the right choices, with my continued help when he needs it. No matter what, if he wants to learn about things that I don't approve of, he is going to find a way like any other child would. I can only do my best to provide the proper example that I want him to follow. You know what I mean?
ReplyDeleteKeep doing what you are doing. I agree with you that too many young people are going the wrong direction. Even with great parents, kids can go bad. It has a lot to do with who they hang out with. Be over protective. At least YOU know what your kid is doing
