i hope your son chooses an interesting and prosperous profession. if you want to discourage him, that's on you.
i was allowed to make my own mistakes until i finally found what i was supposed to do with my life.
I hope to influence the other people who read this forum.
My comments to you are not necessarily directed to your views, but to the situation.
You just happen to have some views that are directly opposite mine.
That's what these forums are all about.
My son is reconsidering after I reminded him that he is contemplating joining a street gang.
