First of all I'd like to thank everyone for their wonderful and creative advice for helping my son improve his word choice. I sought out and received advice from a variety of venues and resources. The most surprising was the unexpected and surprise intervention he got last night. Junior Mint wrote an apology letter to the boy and his mother and was very humble when we delivered it. While we were there another neighbor stopped by. My son found himself surrounded by five adults from the neighborhood who adore him, believe in him , and are raising the expectations for him. Being accountable to me is one thing but now he's accountable to many others who have my back.
That was amazing . I am so used to flying solo and having a me/us against the world mentality. I'm used to hearing you've got a great child but his choices aren't good then leaving me isolated . Now suddenly we find four neighbors who are reaching out to help him and me. Tis strange waters I be navigatin' .
I've said it before and I'll say it again, this is his year. Heck it might just be our year! I've found some strange creatures to talk to recently , they are called adults. I believe I could get used to this and I believe in Junior Mint.
Once again thanks for reading again to folks .
