Joys of Motherhood

Society blames parents for children turning out the way they do. It's not always the parents. Sometimes we do our absolute best to raise our children to be a good person and it just doesn''t work. In some cases nature over-rides nurture and there's nothing you can do about it.  Each individual person has their own personality and in some cases you can't change that no matter how hard you try.  If a person is going to tell lies, then they are going to do it.  It doesn't mean, they have never been taught to not tell lies.  It just means they are who they are. As a parent sometimes the only thing you can do is the best you can.  Once your children grow up, they take over and they live their lives how they choose to live their life and you have no say in the matter.  When it comes to the point where you are becoming an enabler for bad behavior and poor choices then it's time to walk away. Your grown child may not understand, but eventually they have to learn they consequences for their own poor choices. They will never learn to make good choices if your constantly bailing them out every time they get themselves into a situation or when it comes to the point it is affecting your life negatively then it's time to let them feel the wrath of their poor choices.
