I've said this before - but most of the kids acting like gangsters are kids who's parents take little or no roll in their childrens lives.

especially single parents. 2 parents trying to raise a kid can be tough enough - let alone 1.

I know shit happens and not all single parents planned things to be that way - i'm just saying it's really hard to be there for a kid when you're earning the bread by yourself.

then there are the kids who are the children of other kids. teenage pregnancy is no doubt the largest contributer to creating little career criminals there is.

no one to set an example, no one to give a shit.


do i monitor my kid ? .. not really - he's too young and i doubt that we ever will need to even when he's older.
We're very involved in our sons life - and we have a 100% open and honest relationship with him.

I'm not saying we dont make mistakes .. every parent - even the best ones - do, but all the signs are looking good so far. He can be a handful with a pretty severe case of ADHD ... but he's bright, funny, kind, sensitive and loving ...
I'm pretty sure he's going to do great - and we're proud of him.
