a so called "friend" came to me the other day about his petulant offspring.
they always seem to be causing problems with his friends and neighbours.
you know the things....think they know everything at that age, have their own opinions, always putting their foot in it, etc......
and he wanted my opinion...........how often should he stick up for them and how many more times should he support the kid before he looses grace and favour with his mates,...........basically asked me should he stop giving them support and if they offend his mates again.........should he tell them to stand on their own two feet and count the consequences of their actions.
I couldn't answer him as my kids have never got nto such scrapes and when they have upset me or their mum, they have always apologised for their actions......
so guys and galls.........what would your answer to him be?..........i'll then pass on what consensus you all come up with..........he really is in a dilemma.
