If you have a Letter of Intent that you've been waiting to write, hop over to visit Foursons and link up!
Dear 14 year old son:
I am aware of the changes you are going through. It's a rough time for all of us. For you, because of the confusion that is puberty, for Little Sister because she the recipent of the brunt of all your frustrations, and for us Grown Ups because we have to be mediators, referees, and sometimes "unfair". Know that over the next few years you will do some things that you will regret. We will say some things that we will regret. There will be fights, battles, and wars over issues like curfew, homework, and privacy. Also know that we WILL search your things when we feel the need, we WILL ground you when you deserve it, but also that we WILL love you forever and always be here for you.
P.S.
When you leave chocolate out, I WILL have to confiscate

Thanks

Dear Three Year Old Son
When we take cookies, we eat them. If we do not want them we do not take them. Cookies are not for smashing into the floor or the couch. Neither or crackers. Or chips. Or grapes, raisins, cereal, scrambled eggs, or ham sandwiches.

Dear 13 year old Daughter
No, you may not have a cell phone. We will further discuss this in three years.
