[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Mookie [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Roadtrp I wonder how many of the people here blaming the parents have teenaged children (or had them) themselves? Anyone who thinks you can control everything a 16 or 17 year old does is either incredibly naive or runs their family like Saddam ran Iraq. Edited to add... Hello all. This is my first post on this forum, though many of you probably know me from the MR forum. -Jerry [/quote] I raised a daughter - alone - she is all grown and has a family of her own. I didn't expect to know where or what 24/7 - but by golly I made it my business to know a good share of that 24/7. It is called paying attention and listening. Mook [/quote] Goes to prove my point even further - Girls are fundemantely different then Boys, and i'm not jsut talking about Breasts- I'm talking mentality. boys have a nack for getting into trouble more often then women, And women aren't as big a risk takers. I don't want to sound sexist- But only a boy.guy/male could have thpught about parking his car on the tracks! Find a woman that does that, and i'll give you 5 bucks..* Theres a famous Socio-pshycologist ( i still can't spell that word in English!!!) I can't rememebr his name, but names are irrelavent. He came up witha now famous "Group mentality" theory. Any child, will behave differantely with a group of people, almost to the point where you won't Recognize your children, now believe it or not Women are actually more vunerable at this level- many of them will practicly go along with anyhting jsut so they can save-face. But Get a group of men together, the Iq level plumits fater then Nortel stcoks- straight through the floor, It turns into a daring game quite often when we so who will stoop lower then the other. Now believe it or not parents, your children are holding deep dark secrets, that you will enevr find out about, and that they will bring them to the grave, or tell anyone else but you. Ever see the movie with steve martin And Queen lateefa, can't remeber the title now- But the parental messages hit close to home- it is not Stictly defined in your parental book to be solely the parents of this child. Rememebr, not only should you be a parent, you must remain your shilds BEST Friend, someone they can turn too if they fudge up and they need to talk to someone- If they are slightese bit worried you may casr Judgement or even punish- theres not an ice cubes chnce in Jamaica your going to hear what is happening in your Childs life, and you will always be distant, or KEPT AT a distance in many apsects. Now thats easy to deny that, people who deny that DONT ACTUALLY realize this very thing is happening right in front of their nose, plus your denying it because you Don';t know what your child is holding back. But i got Sidetracked, Next theory, Freud came up with a very clear concept- Ego, Superego and Id. Ex: Ego: that candybar looks good but i don't have the money. Super Ego: It's wrong to steal the candybar, so it'll have to wait Id: That candybar is mine Right now, come hell or high water, i'm having it. Now women have quite a good balance between Id, Ego, and Superego (commonly referred to as concience) But men often tend to be overuled by their Id, and there Super Ego is powerless to stop the momentuom of Id. I coudl write another 87 pages on this topic, but i'll leave it be and see what responses i haul in. --------------------- *that does not mean, in a last ditch effort to get 5 bucks of me, that you get your wife/significant other on the forum and post that she would stop her van on the tracks.
