258~ I would not want my boys to be exact like me, because I do make mistakes. I do not want them to make the same mistakes I made, so I teach them not to do things I did. I have never done any illegal drugs. I do not drink much, only on special occasions. My boys have already seen me drink, but I do not get too drunk. (I hate to be drunk.) I swear with bad words only when I am upset or angry, not with my boys. If my boys were with me, I simply do not use my voice when swearing. I am not perfect and neither is my husband. Simply, we just raise/teach our boys the best way we can.
One time, my oldest son asked me this “What is this ..|..” (he showed me the bird) and I answered, “it is a very bad sign, and it is forbidden to be used in this house. I will explain why when you’re more mature.” I asked him where he learned that sign, he told me that he saw some men out there on the street flipping their fingers while I was driving (I did not see that). He got some good eyes, eh? Scary out there.
