[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 273344, member: 84"] No one is perfect. Screwed up the kids with school? hmmm Done that a few times myself. I sometimes forget I'm a difficult child at heart. And heaven help me if I think a rule (or law) is ridiculous I will stubbornly NOT follow it. I also would not let my kids do so. School has a dress code. Let's just say my kids didn't comply with it much. Instead I went to battle with the principals. I won out everytime. Just by being more stubborn than they are. lol Now I look back and realize actually, it wasn't quite as big a deal as I made it out to be. But darn it if you want my girls to not wear pants that drag the floor then YOU hem the darn things or buy the expensive ones that have petite sizes. I didn't have the cash for the expensive ones, and I will not hem jeans! Ok. Will put this out there for ya....... Have you attempted to run down a teacher with your car? Repeatedly? Over a period of years? Then you're doing pretty good. As I have done so (with good reason) and will continue to do so probably as that difficult child part of me takes over whenever I see the man close to a street. No, I'm not really going to run him over.......but [B]HE[/B] doesn't know that. *I'm better, I did intend to run him over at one point* ;) Very difficult child thing to do. Horrible example for my kids. But there it is. Many more where that came from. We do the best we can at the time. Sometimes that turns out to be all wrong, sometimes it turns out well. I've learned some valuable lessons from some awful mistakes. Face the consequences, fix it if you can, learn from what you did, and move on. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
