I r...Just reread this one, C, because it amuses me. I remember commenting to Bear's principal that I was worried about Bear turning into a juvenile delinquent. When he stopped laughing, he reassured me that the kids who turn into delinquents most often have parents who don't stop to worry about them turning into delinquents. <br /><br />Our goats are going to turn out to lead their herds, mark my words.

Nor his goat parents either. You are all just perfect the way you are. I LOVE THIS FAMILY OF GOATS!

I never understood until my own daughter pushed me to the wall. Llara never followed by script only her own and as an adult of your age, she still does and we have a wonderful relationship. Be patient in raising your independent little goat. You're doing fine.DL NELSONhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12740409132697546671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9195467039975300595.post-78986405663817078022011-09-20T20:21:22.846+02:002011-09-20T20:21:22.846+02:00The fact that you are even questioning whether or ...The fact that you are even questioning whether or not your are doing right by J shows that your are an engaged parent. In the heat of the moment we all do and say things that are questionable and possibly (likely?) ineffective. It is during the calm between the storms that we can reset course, if necessary.

And whenever I begin to doubt myself and my parenting, I think of my older son who sespite growing up in the same family with the same parents, IS THE EXACT OPPOSITE.

Sounds to me like J's confident in your unconditional love and knows he's safe to test his boundaries. Isn't that the way it's supposed to be?

J behaves himself well with other people, but questions the two of you, the people who have the greatest impact on his life. Seems fair and righteous to me. Nate and Cali are similar in that they are uber well behaved in the outside world but at home...well, things are much different. <br /><br />Exhausting yes, but you've done a wonderful job and as he grows and matures you will see his best qualities come more and more to the forefront...inbetween extreme challenges to your patience and pocketbooks I'd imagine!!!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07301986775480815132noreply@blogger.com
