I have never had a house party whilst at home on my own...and to be honest never even thought about it...why the hell would i want to invite loads of people into my house to get drunk just so they can ruin it through stupid drunken behaviour...not my idea of fun at all! Yes i agree we can learn from other peoples mistakes but it doesnt hit you as hard when they are other peoples mistakes...for example going for a night out and losing your phone because of being drunk...you see the affect it will have on a friend but having it happen to yourself is a totally different learning curve! I agree teenagers need guidance but mummy and daddy arent goning to be there to pick the pieces up all the time and tell you what right on wrong...thats the idea of growing up and the fun of it! Personally i think life experiences shape people into what they grow up to be...if teenagers are wrapped up in cotton wool and shielded from the big wide world...boy they are going to get a shock when they go out solo!

]]> Comment on One Phone Call Does The Trick by jeffyoung63 http://dadtalkzone.com/one-phone-call-does-the-trick/#comment-21 jeffyoung63 Fri, 22 Feb 2008 00:51:19 +0000 http://dadtalkzone.com/one-phone-call-does-the-trick/#comment-21 Sarah and Grace both sound like very nice people. I'm separated and I was not the nicest person in the world. My children saw me yell at their mother and it was very obvious that I did not love their mother any more. When we separated my wife's anger took hold along with the great power of the court. My children refused to speak to me and have not spoken to me in 18 months. I am a disenfranchised father. That is because their mother refuses to allow me to be a part of their lives and the children have told their lawyer that they do not want to talk to me. I am only allowed to email them. I cannot even phone them. I have never called and been mean or harsh to the kids and I do not have any contact with their mother whatsoever. (except through her lawyer) Any suggestions on what I do to get my kids to talk to me? Sarah and Grace both sound like very nice people.
