LAKE OCONEE —
Jackson Brown Jr., in his book, Live and Learn and Pass It On, wrote, “I’ve learned that if you give a pig and a boy everything they want, you’ll get a good pig and a bad boy.”
Isn’t that so true!!
Beware of the parenting model that gives children everything they want.
That is not they way life is meant to be.
Too many adults don’t learn that lesson as children.
Wishing you much love and much light.
