> The police woke me up at midnight the other night. Picked up DS (16) who couldn't >sleep and decided to go for a walk. There are curfew laws around here, and the officer took this opportunity to chastise me for not controlling my child. What should I do, handcuff him to the bed?
T*** Curfew laws? A 16-year-old can't take a night-time walk around his own neighbourhood? Do you live in Afghanistan or what? I would suggest that the problem lies with your local by-laws, and not your son, who is walking off his teenage issues. At that age, they're seething with existential issues. Walking sounds like a healthy enough response to a restless, churning mind. And showing a healthy disrespect for dumb local bylaws that seek to treat youths like animals, sounds even healthier!!! --------------------------------------------- This message was sent using World Mail. http://www.worldonline.co.za *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Journey from clutter List Website http://journeyfromclutter.com Members Only Page http://journeyfromclutter.com/MembersOnly/MembersArea.htm Unsubscribe: email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word 'unsubscribe' in the 'Subject:' field to be removed from the main list.
