I would just like to give a piece of advice from a lesson i learned
my son is 23yrs old my daughters are 13 and 7 well as a mother at 20 for the first time all went well till
those teens for my boy my biggest mistake with him was giving him space or time
kids do not need to know what there own time is till they are about 16 or so
i gave my boy time to hang with his friends and mall shoppin and hanging out BIG BOBO
by the time he was 16 he didnt want to go to school or work he wanted to do what he wanted
well lesson learnt my 13 year old does not get this time. i drive her to her friends or her friends can
come and hang here but no time for error they need sports and activities to keep them busy
she is so far a great young girl and this does work . and as a parent  we may loose our time but we get that at there bed time
we made choices to have children so now untill the end we must do whatever it takes to look after them
