Seems that a new pattern is developing in our lives....a daily call from a teacher at school complaining about Adam. This is really starting to get on my nerves! Not because the teacher calls, but because of Adams actions. For the life of me, I can't figure the kid out! He has never been abused or mistreated in anyway in his life. Yesterday Josh & I met with his counselor at school and she asked the same thing...NO, Adam is his only abuse. He reminds us everyday how old he is.....I think so far this week it has been at least 20 times....lets see since Sunday that would be about 4 times a day! I think I got it by now!
I know he is growing up, but when you see someone you love making choices that won't be of benefit to them in any way, wouldn't you do everything within your power to thwart the situation? I don't know how many times I have told my kids to learn from my mistakes. In no way am I perfect, and believe me I have made many, many mistakes! I always hoped that my kids would learn and use me and their dad as their example of things what NOT to do. However, I have made some good choices, but the bad choices I do want them to learn from, just like I had to learn from them. I would just think that with them watching me struggle, they would learn what not to do and do differently. Unfortuately, Adam doesn't seem to understand this concept.
In my heart I only want what is best for all my children. I desire for Adam to serve a mission, but only he can make that choice. All I can continue to do is love him and let him know that I love him. But ultimately the choices are his to make....no matter the heartache I may feel.
