Driveway Safety

[bright sparks]

Yeah, i did have a knee jerk reaction for sure, and i apologized to him for yelling at him. (I don't yell at the dcks...just my own teenagers). He is biking a long way to work, but i'm gonna stick to it for the week.

It's all good because we were at the mall yesterday (I drove) shopping for our own things and he wanted to go home sooner than I did... well, with all the mall chaos, I temporarily forgot about him not driving, so I extended the keys out to him and said'you go ahead, I can walk home in this nice weather" (25 min walk)...he said " Yo, Mom, i'm like totally suspended 'til Friday remember?!" and he smiled at me as he turned to walk home.

I love that kid/man!! Thanks EVERYONE!!

Good for you sticking to your original consequences even if it is hard to push back the mothers guilt in hindsight of acting rashly. Sounds like you have a good kid and I think the apology and acknowledgement about the shouting at him is enough. Long bike ride...saves him some gas money right
