the city is sleeping ... the night is coming to an end ... the new beginning! what will we make of this day? Will it be what i make it to be. last night got a call at 1 am while in a deep sleep. it was my son who just moved to another state broke and wants money wired. children mess up and they run to their parents to bail them out. Its always a balancing act in itself between tough love to motivate the child to accomplish their goals flying solo or help them out in order to succeed. It has to be in the middle somewhere but when you don't help guilt creeps in and has to be eradicated prior to it being slightly recorded in the brain. We have to follow our instincts and try to balance. But ladies and gentlemen we cannot under any circumstances give our children everything they ask for! Please do not do this. You will create a monster. Not that he would come and hurt you or me but he will expect it all from the world and it will hurt him/her and those that try to get close to him or her. They learn not to appreciate anything that is given to them because it is never enough. And there is my point. So I had to set a boundary today that I did not want to set, or be swallowed by the big giant, and this ship cannot go down at this point in my life and I love that human being probably more than I love myself... today I chose tough love at 1 am and see how as much as i tried not to feel guilt i am sharing this with the world to get it out of my system at 5 am. And now in peace I am. Thanks for letting me into your eworld.
If I have offended anyone by my "personal honesty," not my motive or intent, therefore, I will say I can only report what it is I experience, my world, my reality, which is really partially real, which at times I stop it from penetrating my soul so as not to harm it in any way or form so that I may continue my journey lovingly, peaceful, and full of the light of the gods and godesses of this universe and so are you out there... just stay in the light and be happy and if you slip out of the light, slip back in ASAP!
PEACE OUT!

You did the right thing! I never give my kids everything they want...my children is younger than yours...but I'm trying to teach them to be self aware...that they are their worse enemy and their life is their responsibility. Tough love is a tough choice the right one! I applaud you....
