So to all the parents that may or may not read this: Do you know what the difference between advice and lecturing is?
The answer......Your attitude.
But wait, you may say, how does my attitude affect what im saying!?....well duh, your child percieves it differently.
For instance, if you sit down with your kid, and talk to them as equals....or even NOT TALK DOWN TO THEM, ya know the "You havent screwed up yet but you will so this is what you should do" attitude, you will find they are much more perceptive.
The difference is when it seems like a kid has no choice, we will make one for ourselves, to ignore you and do what we want. HOWEVER, if it is explained to us rationally, and with our freedom AND dignity intact we are more perceptive to the ideas given and will at least think about it rather than dismiss it outright.....just sayin.

And so it begins....
Someone decided they were going to make a blog....and since I always seem to get the most interesting thoughts late at night when I should go to bed, but just cant force myself to, I figured id make one too :D
Know whats scarier than working at a store where you had a customer nearly steal a large value item at 3 am? Having the employee who confronted the customer tell the story to EVERYONE for the next 3 hours.....wana talk about getting you nervous....
But on another not, people who drink alchohal....seriously, dont drink so much that you are an obnoxious idiot then go into public, no one wants to deal with you....just stay home, you shouldnt be driving anyway......
And with that ends my first blog.....should go to bed, but will prolly read a bit....night all!
