BIG NEWS FLASH: ONCE AGAIN THE ONLY ONE REALLY HURT BY THIS IS THE CHILD!!! Can you imagine what her fellow classmates are saying TO and ABOUT her.
How many of you out there come from divorced parents, alcoholic parents, just plane jacked up parents? The last thing you wanted was for friends and other folks to know!
School was your sanctuary away from your messed up family where you as a student could establish your own identity and step away from the madness at home.
FOR GOOD OR BAD, What I tell my kids is my business! Don't be fooled to think that children who have it all, i.e. nice things said to them, private schools, ridding lessons, Japanese language classes and private tutors, are guaranteed to be wonderful children and well adjusted adults...
'CAUSE WE KNOW IT DOESN'T ALWAYS HAPPEN THAT WAY.
Don't listen to the Baldwin voice mail! Turn the TV and radio channels, go to the next post on our blog. 'Cause while it was playing this morning, you were probably like me ... laying your kids out ... "why didn't you finish your breakfast?, brush your teeth!, how did your home work get wet?... this house better be clean when I get home! ... now get your narrow butts out that door, and have a nice day at school."
Let the Baldwins work out their private situation in private and you and I try to keep our own situations together. Remember we are not IN IT, we are just going THROUGH IT.
That said, one of the brothers disagrees with me so... read his take here.
