Now that some 15 years have pass and I can look at the finite facts of everything that I tried to instill in my children, let’s look over the lessons. One; never lying to them or sugar coating answers to their questions no matter what they were. Two; always sacrificing my body mind and heart so they would have a roof over their heads, clothes on their backs, food on their table and even toys for holidays and birthdays. Three; never stealing from anyone even though it would be easy because of the trust gained. Four; never disrespecting their mother in public nor private. Five; leading by example and never asking them to do anything that I have not, would not or could not do.
With these five elements I went about raising my family to be productive responsible adults that would make a positive impact on the world. My daughter will be 21 in August, Allowed her to come back home 4 times to get her self together since leaving home at 18 because her choice was leave or be honest with us what happened when we were at work. She chose to leave. At this point in her life no job, 8th grade GED education, no drivers license (doesn’t know how to drive), no medical yet (trying to get medicaid) relying on others to take her places and has no will to put forth the effort it will take to survive.
My son who just turned 18 who has not been home since turning 14 because he like his sister did not want to be honest to the people that mattered the most has been in and out of the system of staying with relatives, jail, level three group homes, level two group home and now couch surfing. Has a job (he’s a male he’d better dick is free pussy costs), 9th grade GED education, knows how to drive but no license. Has all the great ideas in the world but no follow through and follows the wrong types of influences. He has managed to go from level two group home, turn 18, get kicked out of roommate set up, refuse help from said level two group home and get his girlfriend kicked out as well in three days.
My only hope is that at some point all the sacrificing their mother and I did will matter enough to kick start their brains and they will grab their ears and pull with all their might until they hear a vigorous pop. Because they are really suffering from a sever case of Rectal cranial insertion.
