Do you have expectations as a parent? These days, some do and some don't. I guess it depends on what you want as the outcome. Let's take a look at the top ten ways some parents' lack of expectations will ensure that they will raise delinquents.
10. All of their siblings have a different father.
9. Allowing them to skip school to perform community service hours so they can be released from their court ordered probation.
8. Purchasing alcohol for them so they will stay home and not drive under the influence.
7. Teaching them that food stamps are the same as cash.
6. Convincing your teen parent daughter that birth control methods cause weight gain.
5. Asking your child's school teacher to "hook you up" on a date.
4. Celebrating with family and friends your child's online purchased high school diploma.
3. Telling your 11 year old daughter that having a boyfriend makes you "cool".
2. When the police return your 10 year old son they found "hanging out" after 10pm you explain, "well, I told him to come home but he didn't want to".
1. For your daughter's 15th birthday you sign for her to get her belly button pierced to the match the 5 by 5 unicorn tattoo on her abdomen that you signed for on her 14th birthday.
Different strokes for different folks, more later........
