Lessons retaught and hopefully, learned this week include-
Go to your girlfriends or gay friends for sympathy and a bi+ch session. Guys want to fix or solve everything.
If a problem can be fixed with money (reasonable amount, not Trump sized), it's not really a problem. (Thanks, Dad.)
The hardest lesson as a parent is letting your child fail in order to succeed. It's heartbreaking and maddening beyond belief. Especially for bright, wonderful kids who often can't get out of their own way. I have to let our sons make their own mistakes, make their own way.
Even though I rarely drink, the thought of a shot of really, really good Tequila with salt and a lime sounds enticing. A piece of chocolate will have to do.
Do you have any wisdom or lessons to share? Thank you.

Yes, I do.
There's nothing like a shot of good tequila with lime and salt. Chocolate is no substitute.
And.
One should meet their blogger friends in person, especially if they live less than five miles away from each other.
When I *do* need advice on parenting a teen, I'm coming to your place.
Sounds like you did well at your lesson, even though it made you crave a good tequila.
Hmmm...wisdom?
Here's my wisdom:
When the in laws call you "crazy" and say they no longer want you a part of their life, laugh in their face and say 'good riddance'!
My new favorite from my employee...
Is the juice worth the squeeze?
xoxo.
theres nothing like girlfriends :...
and while i agree with the sentiment... tequila makes me take my clothes off in public. i stopped drinking tequila publicly some years ago :).
and i think only a guy would say chocolate is no substitute for anything. in my world, chocolate can become a substitute for everything ... even guys ;).
Sometimes distance brings closeness.
Never come between siblings, spouses, etc. It is always liable to backfire when they make up, and they will.
ALWAYS hold the door for the person behind you and catch the door for the person holding it for you.
When you are wronged, do something nice for somebody, it is sure to come back around twofold.
Mmmmmmmmmmm, chocolate, yesssssssss. There when I need you and never do me wrong. PMS, pregnancy, life in general, BFF :)
Oh, almost forgot, in marriage, pick your battles, don't pick on everything and ALWAYS consider the other person.
When in doubt, make tea.
that 1st one is so true!
I'm all over the chocolate. But as soon as I'm through BF'ing, I'm all over the tequila shot!
I like the advice from your Dad. That's a good one to keep at the forefront.
Ahhhh...tequila. I've been SO craving a mango margarita. I can taste it. Mmmmmmmmmm.
My advice? When faced witha dillema, ask yourself, "what's the worst that can happen?" Usually the worst is really not all that bad, and helps put stuff into perspective.
I agree.... never go to men for any sort of empathy or support!
I love a good shot of tequila. If I had one everytime the thought crossed my mind I'd be drunk a lot. In reality I rarely drink.
And I'm glad you have the courage to stand back and let your sons fail. It is the hardest thing to do and something they must experiance.
