Discipline

How far would you go to discipline your children? How much is enough? What is too little? Love for our children is genuine.. Un conditional, and it is necessary to look out for our children. They are not always going to like us, and that is ok because we're not doing it right if they aren't angry at us from time to time. Right? After all, you can't be friends" With your child/dren until they are much older and realize what our true purpose is here in life. That our sole existence is not to serve them and for them to take us for granted... Right?

So that being said, I am curious as to how far would you go to lay into your kids to protect them either in the now, or for protection in the near or far future ? It is a valid question... I would really appreciate your stories, and sharing your experiences with me .. Tell me where and what, and why's.

Kids of all ages, Need Discipline.

On The Catwalk

We have a Dog that thinks that he is a cat, and a Cat that thinks that he is a dog... I did not expect this at ALL! It is funny to see them together, you can tell that in their short time together they really are like brothers. I could not have asked for better pets..

So I suppose after the cat watching for so long he has picked up the interest for a walk" by seeing the dog go out on a leash. So We got a collar, and a leash for Mr. Meowgy and joked around about the idea before we actually took it and the cat seriously. It's a big step committing to taking the cat out on a leash ya know?!

So this is it , THE day!
We put a leash on this smart boy, he flops over and plays dead... It's a no GO PEople! We try again, He does not want to leave the house. We try again he goes out front but bucks like a mini bronco because he isn't used to the leash.

But finally we put the leash on him, and he walked on his own..No Pulling, no dragging a limp cat he walked as if he had been walking on a leash his whole life(1 Yr ) of it haha.
It felt great! And Mr. Meowgy looked around, and crouched down real low stalking birds and listening to all of the sounds around him taking in the earth and then he rolled around in the dirt.

When He was done, I gave him a bath right away so we don't have a problem with fleas ..He fought me and tried everything to get out of that tub! Apparently he does not like baths but I did it quickly and got him all cleaned up and wrapped him up like a little baby in 2 Towels. It is amazing that I still have skin left on my arms!
The next day we took him for a walk, he tried to run out and get away from us, not realizing that there was a leash attached to him and we were holding onto the other end.

We let him lead us to where he wanted to go, as opposed to us taking him.. And it seemed like he knew exactly where he was going. We walked him and the dog Huggy  Bear together..I can only imagine the looks we were getting but I didn't care! We were having so much fun. On The Catwalk

We Live on



In our children...Through their eyes , their smiles, as they grow and become adults.. It's the reason why we procreate right?  To carry on our names, our gene pools..
 As they go to school , work , get married and have children of their own, We live on.. Happily to see them happy and healthy, Productive members of society my eyes well up just thinking about the possibilities of where their journeys will take them.

Hoping that along they way they are good to people, and in return people are then good to them. Generosity , Kindness, Compassion finds them  and they are genuine..

That they have some challenges along the way but that generally they have easy lives not cold hard tough lives... All struggles are real, Whether they are Mentally, Physically, or Emotionally, Financially.

When we are gone, We Live On...

Grand Children

What sweet little human beings they are...
I feel so fortunate to be a Grandma , and to be close enough geographically to see my Grand daughter on a regular basis and see how she is growing and see her mind at work.. It is humbling and
beautiful :)

The special people they are and the joy and pride I get from our relationship growing is like no other. She is my first, won't be my last as I have four children. The first of many to come and I am really looking forward to it!

Is that how you felt? When you became a Grand parent?
