Luckily that hasn't happened. Be sure you set up as private too and make your own site and be on his as a friend.<BR/><BR/>Guess 'boys will be boys' huh?Leannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03829414864890707351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3973818169698036458.post-87724377286043348082008-07-09T19:18:00.000-05:002008-07-09T19:18:00.000-05:00You are doing good momma.

I try to keep involved but it gets harder the older he gets. He pushes me away.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11774994788872800499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3973818169698036458.post-34582479079833899502008-07-09T16:06:00.000-05:002008-07-09T16:06:00.000-05:00I couldn't help but laugh at his headline! LMFAOOh...I couldn't help but laugh at his headline! LMFAO<BR/><BR/>Oh sweetie times are tough right raising our kiddies around so much questionable influence. Both our kids go to private school and they are still going to try and play with fire. I give you kudos I think you handled the situation the best way. The consequences make you re-think the law of the land.Moniquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00979752741885333194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3973818169698036458.post-38085128333837675752008-07-09T09:08:00.000-05:002008-07-09T09:08:00.000-05:00Great.

Whatever you're doing, keep doing it. You can't force repentance, and I desperately would love to see that in a couple of my kids lately.carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02449987730223591945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3973818169698036458.post-58762976363206156232008-07-07T15:20:00.000-05:002008-07-07T15:20:00.000-05:00Man, raising kids is hard!!

I think that's a much better option than banning it altogether (which often causes the child to be even more sneaky about it). This is at least a carrot dangling in front of his nose. :)Wineplzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12412881827548705342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3973818169698036458.post-39703121652458731062008-07-07T12:40:00.000-05:002008-07-07T12:40:00.000-05:00My daughter did the same thing.

I worry more about girls than boys on sites like that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
