Promise To My Children


For as long as I live I will always be your parent first and
your friend second. I will stalk you, flip out on you, lecture you,
drive you insane, be your worst nightmare and hunt you down like
a bloodhound when I have to, because I love you. When you
understand that, I will know you have become a responsible adult.
You will never find anyone else in your life who loves, prays,
cares and worries about you more than I do. If you don't
mutter under your breath "I hate you" at least once in your life,
I am not doing my job properly.

SHARE if you are a parent and you agree.

I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU BUT SOMETIMES WE HAVE ARE DISGREEMENTS BUT SOMEHOW WE WORK IT OUT AND SOMETIMES WE LET IT WORK IT SELF OUT. BUT YOU KNOW I WILL ALWAYS BE HERE FOR YOU AS LONG AS YOU WANT ME TOO.

Very well meaning, but very dysfunctional. Please stop promoting destructive behavior as healthy. Family counselors and and psychologists would find these type of techniques as counterproductive in the long run. just because many grew up with these familiar tactics, does not make them healthy.

Oh please...I will still smack my grown child if they disrespect me...Counseling is a joke...that is why the children now a days are so bad...when we were growing up we knew better then to act up or speak up to our parents...A good butt wooping is what we got..And we turned out just fine...Now a days these kids feel like you can not touch them...Crazy...

Wow I wish my mom would of told me this .......My daughter is at the stage where I am stupid and don't understand or no anything ....when she asks my opinion on something and doesn't like my answer or reply she gets so mad...... Someday she will realize that why I didn't want her to do something and said no was because I didn't want here to learn the hard way like I did

Keep your faith that she will one day understand your reasons for doing things. My daughter is 18 now and can see things differently, she knows that I have had to be strict to help her to learn!! You and your daughter will come through this xx

I am a school counsellor and I feel that sometimes my work to help children is inhibioted by attitudes of parents! I feel that parents need to be PARENTS ad not friends, they need to take responsibility for their kids and teach them to value themselves and others! Counseling is only considered a joke by people who do not understand how it can help!!!!

There is no destructive behavior in this at all. Grow up Anonymous. Kids are the way they are b/c of the all mighty dollar!!! There are no time in peoples lives to teach family values any longer b/c no one is home with children. Everyone is out making the mighty dollar. Years ago it went out the window went stores started to stay open on Sunday with the blue law. Now its longer hours, 24 hours, holidays, anything to make a buck. It takes two people working with one usually picking up a job on the side also just to make it now a days. Thats what is wrong in the world today!!!

Yeah! My children are now in the early 20's and one teenager left...I have received the meanest mommie in the world award several times from all of them but guess what...my children are productive members of society...no police involvement, no baby daddy anywhere and no drugs just responsible drinking by designating a driver or drinking at home. I am proud of my babies and when I did receive the meanest mommie in the world award, I would just look at them and say "I guess I'm doing my job" and guess what...they all still love me:)

My daughter is going through " the no one understands me phase " !!!! ( smile)
We are supposed to accept the wrong choices she constantly makes as mere " mistakes" and rather sympathize- she is now 37 and a mother of two- and despite all the love
(which she does not see) direction, and guidance she must always have her own way. She was not brought up as spoilt child . Can someone please tell her at : mamat76@yahoo.com that walking out on your children ( ages 9 and 6) is not the answer to your problems - no matter how good an idea it may have been at the time you thought of it.
