We are always so quick to judge. When I ...Hi Jen<br /><br />We are always so quick to judge. When I was a little girl, I caught the bus, a taxi and also walked to school, some 8 mies away from home. I loved it. The change I got from the bus trip, saved during the week, gave me the chance to visit the SWEET SHOP on Thursday and Friday for all sorts of treats! I wasn't judged, neither were my parents. It was NORMAL.<br /><br />Our children today have no adventures, they don't even own wellingtons (I know yours do!) and they have nothing to challenge them, or dare I say it, frighten them.<br /><br />This little lad will be a fighter. He has had to learn the hard way. His Dad will probably love his son more than you and I love our children, because he is the only link he has with the lady he married and loved and gave a child to. Young Tom is not to be pitied ... he is to be admired. He is a survivor. He should be admired for his courage, his strength and his maturity. We are far too soft with our children today - mine were allowed all sorts of "dangerous" things - a tree house, conkers, exploring the streams and woods around us, cycling to school, whatever. They have to learn and they have to know that YOU TRUST THEM. That's all part of growing up. My parents trusted me, they warned me, they told me about nasty people and what to do and then they opened the door to give me a life of my own.<br /><br />Young Tom will be fine .... he has the love of his Dad and the memory of his Mum. He's one of the lucky ones cos he has someone who cares. Imagine the thousands of children in this country who have parents who just don't give a damn about their children - they are the ones we should feel sorry for.<br />God bless x x xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
