[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 186630, member: 84"] First off, men just don't see much of this the same way we do. I think it's the whole nuturing thing goes over their head at times. I don't think they can always help it, just the way they're made up. Doesn't make what husband said right. All of us have second guessed. Even with our easy child kids. We want what is best for them and we strive for that the best way we know at the time. Hind sight is 20/20 so it isn't fair to look back and condemn decisions and actions of the past when they were made with the best knowledge available. If I even let myself do that for a moment I'd be sitting in a corner making weird noises and they'd be booking my padded room. You're right. difficult child has made her own choices. You've given her ample opportunity to take the ball and run with it. She's the one choosing not to. MB is just making it worse. You can tell husband that Nichole had no help whatsoever in school and it sure didn't do her any favors. She wasn't coddled (except by older sibs) and it made no difference. She still went down the wrong road until she finally realized that she is the only one who can make the right decisions and who has control. All we can do is try to give them what they need as kids to do well. Once they're grown, it's up to them to use it. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
