This quote should be written on my first born's forehead. It is his personal aphorism. He is forever talking and getting in trouble. Its not so much all the talking , its the talking for no reason and with no thought behind it. If my husband and I could just get him to think before speaking he would be a wonderful leader for his peers. I could really envision him in politics or as a lawyer, he could really be something. My first born is also going through a lazy faze that is causing him to not excel in school. He brought home a progress report that was not acceptable. I asked him a question..."How do you get a "D" on an open book test?" he replied that he didn't use his book, sometimes I just wonder... I swear the boy has no common sense, to the extreme that I worry about him. How am I supposed to keep him on the right path in school, keep his grades A's and B's, and steer him toward college? I want so much more for him than this. I don't want him to struggle, I want him to live the American dream to the fullest. Lets just hope that this stage is just a phase and he will outgrow it. I am sure that the baby will give us a challenge of his own at some point down the line...isn't that what parenting is about?
