I can relate...& I love it that you are for real :) kiddos need to know that we aren't perfect, but how do we handle ourselves when we mess up (which seems to be often for me this summer).<br />P.S. Love the Jeep :)...just saw a VW convertible 2day & told Bri to start saving so she can cart her momma @ in one of those someday...but not too soon! <3 ya KelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5743228979051687756.post-91510800912772815462010-08-26T15:27:23.723-05:002010-08-26T15:27:23.723-05:00I admire your forthrightness and your sincere resp...I admire your forthrightness and your sincere response to your child! You set such an important expample for him to know that you are human, therefore flawed, but more importantly, you apologized and "problem solved" by talking it over with your son. You just "raised the bar" in your relationship with him as well as presented a tutorial for all of your readers--bet you thought you were just sharing an experience, huh!Good job!
