I hear ya. My daughter just turned 22..im 37. (Started WAY too early-one of those "trying to be grown way too quick" cases..) Heres the thing tho, i know its mandatory to teach responsibility and build good decision making, i get that. I even get the'setting a good example' factor, and totally agree with these principals and standards/morals/ethics etc. But...to play maybe devils advocate, or maybe im just a man with regrets..or both...isnt it important to "live a little".. Fuck i hate to sound so cliche about the shit but dont we all maybe look back on our younger days and say.."damn i wish i woulda' went for it and had more fun- take more risks"... Believe it or not i was completely off my chain while in my teens and sat incarcerated for 3 yrs of my late teenage life.. I drank..did meth...car crashes..gunplay...been stabbed..WAS OFF MY CHAIN... And still..theres some risks i wish i would have took..in different areas nonetheless but definitely would have took more risks. I know it dont make sence based on the little ive said about myself, but i wish i would have not played life so safe in alot of ways..idk. I agree with the comment that said "this child dont have a dad" bc she really dont. Shes got a freind. Ive realized that with my 4 children..its hard to be both. Almost impossible really. Especially since most his text revolved around partying and getting wasted.. But still..take risks..enjoy life...live a little...all im sayin.
