If you can't say anything nice. . .

There's a show on cable about the messiest jobs on the planet. Why isn't 'parenting' highlighted? Parenting has got to be one of the hardest and messiest jobs on the planet!

I've made no secret of the fact our lil' darlin' has made some choices I just plain don't agree with and don't like. Today, I listened to an interesting tirade he delivered in reference to one of his friends. It went something like this. . .

"He has no idea how he's letting his behavior damage relationships. I'm mad at him and so is his mother and Sanchez (another friend). He's angered everybody! He's going to alienate everybody who cares about him, all for some relationship that probably won't even last!"

Now, you know what must have been going through my mind. And it must have shown on my face because lil' darlin' said, "I know what you're thinking!". However, what I said was, "I know how frustrated you must be feeling".

I did taste a little blood, from biting my tongue!
