Parents and Teenagers


This is a topic I will again address at a later stage. Right now my girls are very far from being teenagers although Eden talks about it a lot. Anyway here is what happened, yesterday one of the girls in grade eight was taking too long with her hair, her dad got over excited and pulled out the clippers and shaved her head clean off... now that is unacceptable behavior. The poor kid is so embarrassed and has to walk around with a beenie all day, shame. Anyway with parents you always want to do the "right" thing which sometimes ends in being the wrong thing because we tend to forget what it was like. the reason i want to approach this topic at a later stage is because there is doing too much and there is doing too little and we all know "those" parents who allow their kids to call them by their first name and we also know those parents whose kids look like they're in the army... so where does one draw the line?

Anyway this weekend we are attending a youth and young married couples camp so I will be providing feedback as soon as I can.

You drew the line right there... you gave too little,now we're anxious for the rest. So too little could be used as a tool to grab the attention of the audience.
