What a week-end! My Dad came down from South Bend to house sit my 3 teenaged nephews while their parents dipped out of town on a vacation to the Islands. Well all went as expected. My Dad got upset like he always does (he is out of touch with young people) because the boys were acting like students do when ever they have a substitue teacher.....of the chains. The talking back, total disrespect of elders and always being away from home and no one really knowing where you are.
I know boys will be boys, but something extra happen. My oldest nephew go fed up with the younger one and took matters in his own hands and tried to discipline him and it didn't set well with either of them.
The ironic thing about this scenerio is that the road to Hell is paved with good intentions or so they say. To make a long story short we had a family meeting and talked this thang out job readiness style and may have learned somethings all about everybody.
The lessons I hope we learned was that, love must be told and shown, physical force is not always the answer and that quality time is a way for all of us to get to know each other and a way for us to always be family first.
I enjoy my nephews, but what we did in the past wont work for the future. So start today a new and lets do like Rodney King ( not get high and run from the cops) and just all GET ALONG>>>>>
I am Ward
