Saffie if you're still reading and Pup, got a question for you. DS16 has told me a number of times that he wants to call OM and let him have it.
What do you think of that idea? WW would be pissed that I gave DS16 the number, but who cares. Saffie, I know you said that had a big impact on your H. What do you think about that? Would I just be using my kids? Don't want to do that, but at the same time it could allow him a chance to get some of his frustrations out.
Don't know if I'm seriously thinking about it, but I was just re-reading some posts on my thread and yours Saffie jumped out at me.
Hope,
It's a reasonable question. My D(then 18) had the same request, and this is how I was counseled:
Don't facilitate it (like giving her the #), or foment it in any way. Don't encourage it, in other words. But if the child does it, on their own, then you can't stop them -- they're just being true to themselves.
