the keys to happiness

[norral]

i am sure in some sense that is true but the fact still remains they need to be stood up to at least in my opinion. it actually is the most loving thing u can do for them. let them understand that there are consequences to their actions. when we moved to our current neighborhood our two sons were 5 and 7 . two teenage boys down the street were harassing them. i grabbed them one day and said if u bother my kids again i wont talk to your parents i will deal with u myself. they stopped. case closed. i didnt do anything to them i just told them what to expect . another time a young lady i know was being harassed by her jerk husband who she was in the process of divorcing. and i mean harassed and the dude was a jerk. me and my two sons took care of it. we didnt hurt him but we shook him up a little bit. again case closed. sometimes u just have to grab the bull by the horns. i dont go looking for this stuff but ill be dipped if i am going to tolerate any crap when i am not doing anything. and that young lady is now happily remarried and has two beautiful kids. there is a time and a season for everything and sometimes u have to stand up because that is the only language some people understand. and i dont like conflict quite honestly but this world is full of dysfunctional people who go looking for it. its a power thing. but i am not letting anyone steal my power . if they dont care about how i feel then i dont care how they feel. thats not harsh its just real .
