kids,stress, and guilt

[Guest guest]

Gwen,

I agree. I know when I posted I just put the negative side but. My

son has worked since 12 mowing and had a job at stores since 15 and

worked weekend and nights and took all AP classes staying up late at

night.

No we did not have him in Christian school but chose a good

school district that taxes are way up there to make sure he was

getting the best education he could.

We too had to pay for play and there were many a time the whole family was at

the concession stands helping the bands, I taught Junior Acheivement at his

schools, We were in Habitat for Humanity, very active in our church. I have

always worked, volunteered, helped at school, and our whole family worked

together.

Our son was in boy scouts, and mission work. So he knows what it

takes plus both Dad and I were in the military. My husband active duty for 15

years and myself 26 years Reserves (3yrs active duty).

We will apply for scholorships, My son has already done all the work

and we are looking also. I guess my disappointment is with my health, I cannot

sit anywhere for over 15 minutes, I never know what pain level I will be at so I

cannot commit as I used to.

It is my guilt I carry, I miss helping although my job right now is 8 hours with

Behavior disorder students at middle school level that I encourage daily and

know I am helping.

I am so proud of him when he helps elderly people in parking lots,

stores, and encourages young kids. He reads to our neighbors kids and he is a

good friend so I know his belief in God is secure and God will be there when we

cannot be.

Thanks.
