Or has it always been when somebody wants to make life harder on someone else? "Take it to the next zone." Because threats like this NEVER get old.
Just ask me. Phleasha's mom's made me aware of this. In fact, she just creates stress in the lives of others that they don't need. Phleasha, with or without me, needs to be happier... and since she requires that that include me, I can live with just that. I wouldn't have it any other way, actually.
I'm too far gone, and there's no getting away from this girl. She's amazing. The only time it will be over is when she deems it's necessary; may that time never come around. I try hard to keep her happy, and I can't guarantee that anybody else will do so, especially to this degree. Why would you want an apparent loved one to be sad? No mother should want that for her daughter. It's your duty as a parent to be mature. Grow up and handle things yourself, but let them grow up as well. Or else they'll be in a worse boat than you.
There's one thing some parents need to learn..... if you tell a teen that they can't have any variation of their way, ever, then they will rebel.
Ex.: Parent 1 tells Child that they can't go out for a month. Child then sneaks out, and more trouble is caused. Parent 2 says that Child can't be out past 7:00pm. Guidelines are met, and both Child and Parent 2 are happy, even if they had to bend a little.
Grounding your child from someone will only make things worse in general. I don't claim to be a better parent, but I might be. Who knows. I may never find out, as I don't want my own.. they're gross, and they cost too much.
Yes, I haven't updated in a while. I know this. I've also gone through a few jobs since the last time I posted. I'm starting tomorrow at Panera Bread, but who knows how that'll go. One guarantee that they have with me, as a worker, is that I won't steal food. I don't like Panera, bland doesn't satisfy my tastebuds, and 12 dollars for a meal doesn't quite make my wallet happy, either. Conclusion: Phleasha, job, shows, looking for new band members = busy me. Well, that's more of an.. excuse.
