I have relatives that teach, and when a parent cares enough to turn their kid(s) in, it is a miracle these days! When my kids told me that I was the world's meanest mom, I told them that they should remember that if they ever decided to do something wrong. The thanks will be a few years coming from the kids, but one day you will hear that come out of their mouths.Jo Whitehursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04367835200107193048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1245139130247793579.post-57137786011822000452008-12-13T18:30:00.000-06:002008-12-13T18:30:00.000-06:00Way to go!!

I just got nasty comments from the bad girls, that I was ruining "their" rep! Maybe because I showed 'em you could have a good time without bein' "bad".Tatersmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11991481246363893085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1245139130247793579.post-67849014698457059952008-12-10T13:25:00.000-06:002008-12-10T13:25:00.000-06:00WOOHOOOOOO! I got my rep back in 8th grade. My s...WOOHOOOOOO! I got my rep back in 8th grade. My sons 8th grade, that is. He decided to steal, was warned about it, and than did it AGAIN! so I turned his butt into the cops (my hubby was VERY angry over my doing this, I will point out), they went and got him from school, handcuffed him, placed him in the back of the squad and took him to the 'shop'. <BR/><BR/>After doing their thing, they took him to the actual store (allowing me to come along the entire time, which was VERY nice of them!), where the manager said that he was not going to press charges HOWEVER .. he said he expected to have the cleanest parking lot for a month. I agreed to bring him over every day after school to corral carts, and sweep the front of the walkway and he did it. <BR/><BR/> He got razzed like nobodys business AND everyone in school knew me too. Good. His friends consider me their 'other' mom and when the line is drawn, kids know how to walk it. AND there is a penalty for crossing it. They never crossed it. <BR/><BR/> He's a daddy now and he says he doesn't think he'd have half the cajones I do if that time ever comes to haul in your own kid. If you love him, you will. Better than visiting them in jail, or worse.GOONKAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15876801606644683218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1245139130247793579.post-38422453760379315612008-12-10T12:22:00.000-06:002008-12-10T12:22:00.000-06:00Hey, you had me at "Wife Swap".Congrats on your re...Hey, you had me at "Wife Swap".<BR/><BR/>Congrats on your reputation!<BR/><BR/>DavidaDavidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06068801189433001612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1245139130247793579.post-5212328648805609992008-12-10T12:01:00.000-06:002008-12-10T12:01:00.000-06:00Nurturing is what I aim for.
