[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 128549, member: 805"] You can be well-meaning, full of love and concern, and give the most wonderful advice in the world, but if the recipiant is not in a place to receive said advice, it's useless advice. Obviously the advicee needs to not be feeling defensive, but be feeling open and trusting in the advisor. While your friend may be speaking from concern and love, his godson has the will to take it or leave it. He has a better chance of getting through to him if they have a good relationship where the godson trusts and likes his godfather. If the godson sees his godfather as just "another annoying adult" in his life, he doesn't really have a prayer! Sharon [/QUOTE]
