imagine, that we don't take responsibility of our kids?! um...under the law, we do up to the age of 18. many states, allow any damage your kid has done to be sued against the parent/guardian. as parents, we should be making them responsible. how many parents actually make their kids do chores? clean bathroom, bedroom, do laundry or dishes? anyone let their kid cut the grass anymore? we can make them responsible - yes! we ourselves, need to show them that being lazy is not being responsible. showing them that we care and are concerned will show them we are responsible. think of it this way, when your child was hurt, who took them to the hospital? they came to you for a kiss on the cut or a bandaid. my daughter wanted me to hold her while she gets a shot, even at the age of 18. so who is being responsible? showing them is a great way, remember afterall it is a priviledge to drive a vehicle and not a right!
