I knew it was wrong when I said it, I agree with their frustration and we're all hoping for a change of direction, knowing we can't do a darn thing about it, we just vent to eachother, but being down about it, use it as an opportunity to reinforce the faith, hope, love, time and patience part.
At the same time, this is the first time that I've kept a secret from my kids, I was always open with them, always quick to say when I was wrong and always praising their good and discussing the wrong.
blah blah blah, justification of a bad choice. : ) Seriously, you're their strength, do not burden them with your problems on top of theirs and you need to mitigate theirs.
