My wife and I provided for my daughter, her step-daughter, in an exceptional way, for years. She repeatedly told my wife that she was a better mom than her real mom - and that is the truth. All the while we were told her real mom was drunk, popping pills, running around the neighborhood naked and in and out of rehab facilities. They have been on the attack against us and they think they have the upper hand, but the scrutiny will now be turned on them. I can't wait for my day in court!

When a hobo told Andy he should just let Opie "decide for himself" how he wanted to live... Andy had these words of wisdom...

"No, I'm afraid it don't work that way. You can't let a young'n decide for himself. He'll grab at the first flashy thing with shiny ribbons on it. Then, when he finds out there's a hook in it, it's too late. Wrong ideas come packaged with so much glitter that it's hard to convince 'Em that other things might be better in the long run. All a parent can do is say 'wait' and 'trust me' and try to keep temptation away."

Somehow we've lost this basic truth. Too many people are more worried about being their child's friend, than in being a parent.

I'm busy with family and business. Still using this domain, not interested in selling, please stop asking. Have a nice day.

I finally moved my blog to blogger.com and this is feeding from it now. No more maintaining my own.
