Being a parent is hard, kids don’t come with a set of instructions. We as parent tend to go by the way we were brought up, by what we see other parents do or by what we feeling at the moment to implement discipline. I was raised very old school, you never disrespect an elder, listen and respect your older siblings, and must follow rules no matter what. If you failed to do so, there was consequences or a butt wiping. I remember saying to myself I will never be like that with my kids. As I got older I realized why the rules and discipline were so important. When I had my kids I raised them very similar to the way I was raised. They didn’t like it just like I dint like it but they now say Im glad you were the way you were with us. They actually see why there’s a need for a parent to enforce discipline and rules. I decided to ask a few people on their opinion on how to discipline a child. Is funny how the ones that were older believe that the old fashion way was better. But now due to the government parents have their hands tied on the way to discipline their kids Sent from my iPad 00:06:00Silent Tears of a Military MomnoI know this is a touchy subject, but I feel is important for us to speak about it.

How can you live with the fear that any moment he could be sent to a war? I couldn’t do it .. I would have done all I could to stop him from going in the military, and for that I admire you.  My answer to her was…I will never forget how my heart dropped when my son came to tell me he wanted to join the military. I asked him if he was sure and if that’s what he wanted then.. I will support his decision 100%. He explained his reasons and I noticed he had really thought it over and was sure of his decision. I knew if he saw that his decision was breaking my heart he wouldn’t go through with it. The next few months were emotionally torturing and that’s when my silent tears began. The day came when we had to drive him so he could begin his journey. On my way to drop him off, I prayed for strength. The time to say our goodbyes came, he said bye to my daughter, my boyfriend and then me. That hug almost made me break down, as I hugged him in my head I scream to God for strength and to please help me hold my tears. As we pull away I saw his tears, I took a deep breath and said "Hey, don’t cry you see me I'm strong and time will fly, we will see each other soon." He cracked a smirked and said "true," took a deep breath and walked away. I held my tears in till I got in my car, and I just let it out. I was not seeing my son leaving but one of my best friends.  I'm very proud of him and his achievements so far in his military journey, but I couldn’t be selfish. A mother or any parent must let their child free and let them spread their wings. My faith gives me strength and yes I'm hurting but I have faith that the Lord and my grandmother are watching over him and keeping him safe. Only I know how many silent tears I've shed. 00:05:00Silent Tears of a Military MomnoRecently my cousin messaged me, I would die if my son will be in the military.
