Hanging out with the children only to hear, “Oh crap! You cannot be serious!”
The explicits of the unknown. How can one thing be something else?

The yelp came from G-man as he was fixing himself something to eat. He took an egg out of the refrigerator with the hopes of it being a hardboiled egg.
Little did he know. The tap seemed somewhat soft. The shell dented more than usual. One last crack and …
“Oh crap! OH CRAP!!!”, he screams!
The egg now dripping all over himself.
I couldn’t help but giggle. Serves him right. AND better yet, he learned a life skill that came from real life.
As much as we try to give everything to our children and make sure they have the best of what we didn’t have, some life skills have to be experienced.
The ooey gooey mess will remind G-man that he better double check before he assumes something.
Our children need us to let them grow up and learn through experiences.
“Experiences put the ‘real’ in life.” ~ Kristianne Wargo
This upset mama gets tired of all those parents handing life to their children on a silver platter.
We learn from doing and experiencing. Sometimes pain has to be felt to be remembered. Sometimes failure has to happen in order for success to be appreciated. Sometimes rejection has to be heard for commitment to be understood. Sometimes a heart has to be broken in order for God to work a miracle.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Learn through experiences. Train up!
Let your children learn through experiences. And if that means they fall down; they fall down.
Yes you can be there to teach them.
If you want to give your children the best of what you didn’t have, let them experience life through their eyes. Groom them to understand tough decisions.
Nothing is easy, but a lot of growing up is learning how to make it through this tangled web called life.
Love on them with your encouragement. But that doesn’t mean you give them everything on a silver platter.
“Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” ~ Proverbs 22:6
“Being a mom is the most rewarding and challenging experience. This is real life!”
