Embarrassing your children - from historical Jesus thread

[splashscuba]

I've never intentionally set out to embarrass my kids. It's just that we are mutually at those ages when it happens. And I never know what is ok and what isn't.

Getting my nose pierced - cool.

Driving into the school car park with Psycho blaring from the stereo - uncool

Going into school to talk about paganism - cool

Having a boyfriend - cool

Going within three feet of boyfriend - the most deathly embarrassing thing on the planet ever.

Psycho, very loud. Yeah !!!

Unfortunately my 12 year old loves it too so I have to sing it, very loud, in front of her friends to embarrass her.

I haven't yet, but watching their set at Glasto last year has convinced me that I will. Completely brilliant.

We had rules which our kids were expected to follow otherwise their were  consequences if they didn't, which I think is fair enough. Too many kids these days seem to get away with far too much. However, it would appear our kids enjoyed their childhood, so we must have been doing something right.

hope you've got your care in old age sorted out Floo!

So I said to my lad
'look, I don't expect you to look after me when I'm old and infirm. How much did you say you wanted to borrow son?'

Same to bluehillside - Too Right!!!
However we were \probably the same, bank of mum and dad etc.
I was glad of it  and now my grown up kids are.

From what floo says her children are caring and she has enough common sense to organise her finances to include care in old age.  Most of us do likewise so - no problem.

We have WONDERFUL children, my husband and I are extremely fortunate, we get on well with them. 

I have no wish to burden them when if/when I am no longer capable of looking after myself, and will go into a care home.
