Early last week I posted a question begging advice about how to let up on my 12 yr old & just let him be a kid. I had many great responses. And Friday afternoon I was tested on how well I listened.His friend of 5 years called to ask his to his B-Day Party & sleepover. I thought of everyones advice & said yes. Saturday I called about pickin him up & he begged to stay 1 more night......I wanted to say noooo I wanted my baby home..but he had stayed 1 night & wasnt raped, beaten, corrupted or murdered..lol...so I said ok. He was so happy and I felt a bit proud of myself for cutting the apron strings. PPL who know me were SHOCKED when they learned I let him spend the WEEKEND away. But I do know & trust this friends mother...she is a single parent trying to raise a good boy.
So what do you think guys & gals who advised me?
How did I do ? can I get a yay candy thumbs up??
Thank You all again your advice gave me & my son a whole new relationship to build on.Plus the ME time was GOOD!

hello, wow i don't know the whole story but from what you said, it must have been so confusing on what to do. anyway i congratulate you for doing the right thing, heres what i can say:
as long as your raising your child on the right track they will trust you, so what you should do is to trust them also, coz if you don't they won't also.
my parents have disciplined me and prepared me to face the world, i trust them but the problem is that sometimes they don't trust me, and for me as a child my question is that, what's the use of disciplining me if they won't trust me?
congratulations for having faith in your daughter.............

Y'know, I had a overprotective father myself. I've become a really late bloomer because of him. I really hated him year after year for that. But what is done is done, he still my father anywayz.
Right now, I have to re-learned the pitfalls of life.
I just hoped your daughter doesn't developed my kinds of feelings because of your overprotective way. Respect her as a person, not a baby you can control the way you like.
