Mom says no
How do you be encouraging, supportive and trusting of your nearly-adult child and his decisions, while also vehemently opposing his interest in the military and law enforcement (and in particular the marines)?
It is much like my dilemma when they were younger and wanting them to think for themselves and question everything, while also needing them to just listen to me and do what I tell them.
What if the choice is between him becoming his father or going into the marines? I’d have to choose marines right? They can be anything but their dad. Any. Thing.
But ANYTHING? anything at all?
Ahhhh!!!
I am not ready for this kind of stress.
