I know That kids grow up and they start to like and dislike their own things. They start to develop their personality more. My second child Bradley is 9 1/2 years old. His older sibling is a girl so he looks to his peers for his roll models. I am so frustrated because his friend that he plays with all the time who happens to live by us....I can't stand! When Bradley is around him ... Bradley turns into a little boy I do not know. He's mean and he gets disrespectful towards me. I usually tell him to knock it off. I will say to him.. This isn't you. You are my sweet boy and I will not let you speak to me like that. Then he feels bad and usually cries. He is a sweet boy most of the time. I just have noticed that he is a follower. Maybe because Reilly is so bossy? I just imagined my boy being very strong and being able to stand for something and stand strong in what he knows. I don't want to ban the friend from here because it is Bradley's only friend right by us. This friend has also introduced my children to WWE (wrestling) Hate that too. But the kids love it now. (JOY) He needs so meet more people. Luckily he has scouts here. But that's only twice a month. I better make sure he gets to scouts so he has some positive role models. I do love my boy. I am so glad he is my son. Maybe if I'm a better example he might have the qualities I want to see in him. I have to start within the walls of my home. ( I think I just answered my quandary) Thanks for listening to me rant!

I TOTALLY understand where you are coming from Tammy. I think we are all in this boat at one time or another. I actually just had this same conversation with Haylee this week about her friends and their examples. It is hard because you can't change other peoples kids..... you can only help change yours!
I ask myself WHY.... daily
