I was quite literally choosing between my kids. <br /><br />If it makes you feel any better, I was not hard on my kids and one of them still became an addict. I could care less about grades. I spouted out that grades were just an arbitrary symbol of their success in regurgitating some information that had been spoon fed to them. I just wanted everyone to be happy so not much was a big deal if that was happening and they were being nice to each other. Until my daughter started coming home drunk or high.

That is always valuable and restores some of what has been lost.Annettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18326425173333184401noreply@blogger.com
