Not at all. I don't completely agree with either of you. I think he might be a little harsh but at the same time you are claiming to know about things that you really don't know about. Just because you were a kid once or have family members that are kids. That's hilarious if you think about it. If I would have known then what I know now then I would have made a ton of different choices. It's because of the experiences that I have lived through that I can try and teach my kids what I have learned.
The story about my brother kind of goes against what you were saying. To see my brother now, all he does is hang out with thugs, get into fights, smoke out and so on and so on. I am more inclined to stay home with my family and do everything I can to keep them from that type of element.
