Stand back, People.
Proud Mom here and i've just got to toot my daughter's horn a bit.
My daughter is 10 and in the Fifth Grade. She is also mildly autistic, so there are some things she "misses".
Anyway, she and I are very tight, and we talk about EVERYTHING.
Drugs, the war, sex, religion, you name it.
What can I say? I'm a stay at home Mom and she's the Light of my Life! :O:!
Came time when they were getting ready to do the "Introduction to DARE " ( A feel-good program that i think is a waste of time and actually encourages drug-use) and I had refused to sign the indoctrination-er----"permission " slip for it.
I felt it was better use of her time to work on actual school-work. Naturally, concerned counselors asked her why, and what she knew about drugs and "Why Drugs Are Bad....Mmmmmkay?"
My Cait, when asked stood up and told the counselor, that she would never do drugs for three reasons:
1) "Drugs are against the law, and in our family we follow the law. 2) "Drugs are bad for you and make your body and soul sick" and then she topped it off with : 3) " If you buy drugs you are giving your money to peope like Osama, who will use it to hurt other people!'
I got asked about it when I went to pick her up later.
My Girl! And they say misses things.......!
Enough bragging on my kid. LOL!
Tia
Ha! Sounds like she's in better contact with reality than a lot of adults!
Bragging? I'd say well-justified!
