Chronicles of Kelsey, Parenting

When it’s okay to say “NO” to an adult.

I’m so proud of my child for standing up for what’s right, even if she risk getting her butt whipped!

Today, I told her we were going out to celebrate Cinco de Mayo and she could be my designated driver.  She told me, she will not drive me drunk.  That she has her learners, not her license and she can only drive with a RESPONSIBLE adult.  I was really just kidding when I told her that she would be my designated driver but to listen to her go on and on about being responsible made me proud.  I hope she’s just as responsible if faced with these type of situation with her friends.

Thank you God for blessing me with a child that’s so much better than me because Lord knows I needed her to keep my balance!  Now off to celebrate… don’t get me wrong, I’m gonna have 1 drink.  What y’all thought?!

    You’re doing a phenomenal job raising Kelsey to be a responsible teenager and, more importantly, a responsible young adult. You’re laying the groundwork for responsible parenting but you’re also setting her up for her future. Prayerfully, she won’t be placed in situations where trouble is afoot, but be glad and proud in knowing that your daughter will be well prepared for the challenges and trials life will present.
