More stuff never to tell your teenager






I wish there were a way to do an All Points Bulletin (APB) to parents where the kids couldnt know what was being said ...You know like that cell phone ring tone" that if you are over 35 your not supposed to be able to hear it. I actually was exctatic when Chase played the ring tone and I COULD HEAR IT!
Well when kids start driving the car isnt low on gas...until you have been on "E" for about...a day and a half. For the most part kids should learn their lessons the hard way....like WE ALL had to learn those same lessons. This is why if my gas level is below 1/4 tank I get a little anxious.
~Suggestion~ If you have to drive out to your beloved child and bring them gas ...because they ran out...dont hurry.This is so difficult to do because a) you WANT them to call YOU if they are in trouble and b) you want to be the one to chew them a new butt for being so irresponsible. When I think back to all the stuff I got yelled at for as a teen...I cant think of any of the actual REASONS at ALL. So as bad as you want to yell take your time , calm down and let the Lord teach the lesson. Your gonna hear all sorts of reasons you should be there "like now please", such as..its cold..lol! Time to think is a very valuable tool in teaching a lesson.Even at 1 am always bring a camera because this stuff is almost ALWAYS funny later.

I love when the Lord teaches the lesson!! Too bad that can only happen if we don't blow a gasket!! I'm trying to get better at that!
