They ranged from age 3 to 12 when we married so I pretty much helped raise them.<br /><br />There were MANY incidents of bad behavior but with Craig, when we took away his car after he misbehaved he, at age 16, got some guy on a derelict used car lot to sell him a piece of junk car which he proceeded to paint with the colors of the Jamaican flag. When he "hid" from us by parking it in the lot of a nearby church, which the pastor called Ron and asked him why Craig was doing such a thing. Then he parked it in front of our house, we sold the used car we had bought him, THEN we revoked his driver's license... you can do that in Alaska if your child is under the age of 18.<br /><br />All of them snuck out of the house and would return via a window. I would ask them to just walk in the door since we knew what they were doing. What a headache. Don't envy you. PS they do grow up to be great adults!

We've had some trouble with our son - he seems to have gotten the message now - and hopefully that will be a good foundation for those rocky, hormone-fueled years.<br />I think made some excellent calls there!LA Botcharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09045857399816360885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6591089340797885298.post-34882807441567833552012-02-09T12:42:57.790-05:002012-02-09T12:42:57.790-05:00P.S.
