And then there were four
As a parent, I’ve got to tell you that raising kids is an extremely difficult job. I have had a lot of problems with my oldest son over the years and even though he is eighteen now, let me tell you that it doesn’t get any easier. All in all he is a good kid he just does a lot of stupid things that he gets caught doing. This weekend, I caught him in a lie and called him on it. He didn’t like that very much so yesterday he came in the house and informed us that he was moving out. This is his decision and we did not ask him to leave, but he is eighteen now so there wasn’t a lot we could do about it. Hopefully a little time spent in the real world will awaken him to the fact that life at our house wasn’t quite that bad. He is more than welcome to come back home, but knows that by doing this, he will have to abide by our rules. One of my rules is that I can absolutely not tolerate being lied to. As I have two younger children that I am trying to raise properly, I cannot and will not have him breaking the rules. Hopefully we can get this situation straightened out. But until then we have to go on with life and hope that he will go on with his in a productive manner.
