[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 451023, member: 59"] I hear you exhausted!!!!! You know if more parents had that attitude maybe our kids would be better off. When we grew up if we did something wrong and one of our friend's parents found out they would be on the phone telling our parents and we woud be in double trouble. I have talked to most all of the officers in our community over the years, including the school resource officer. All of them have told us that they wished more parents were like us and they get so frustrated dealing with parents who either deny there is a problem or have a problem themselves and just don't care. It must be very frustrating for them. I have had officers tell our difficult child that she has no idea how lucky she is to have parents who actually care and that it is probably because of us that she is there talking to them rather than being in jail or dead. I have always lived my life honestly and within the laws. I have nothing to hide. I have made mistakes and I may have not always handled things in the best way, but I cannot stand by and watch these hoodlums get away with breaking the law and polluting our kids. After we had the neighbor druggie arrested, he defriended our difficult child from facebook and so did all his friends. I couldn't have been happier. I have already decided that if he gets away with damaging our property and doesn't have to reimburse us for it, that I will file a civil lawsuit against him. I am a firm believer in taking responsibility for your actions. Nancy [/QUOTE]
