Don't you think it's pretty arrogant to tell people what to do in life?

Screw the person who thinks they know whats best for everyone. [i]Kicks them off their high horse[/i]

I have made enough mistakes in my life I have the experience for telling someone what not to do ,What to do ,its your painting ,paint it
Some have taken my advice and went on to be successful ,small town girl to now she can buy most of it ,and she is only one
I am happy I was able to assist way more then that .
Then I have had those who said they have to make their own way ,
So even with my kids I made a promise ,I never meddle ,,But if you land your butt back in my house ,MY RULES ,(which are just common courtesy ,your not coming home call so I am not up worrying about you ,If you plan to eat out ,call so I am not sitting here hungry trying to keep supper warm for you ,and as they did ,all kids mind ,I worked hard for what I have and I'm sorry don't replace it ,we do not child proof the house ,we child proof the child )
manners and common courtesy are required ,
If you are grown I want you in your own home ,I gave you an education and a car ,I do not have a problem with an empty nest syndrome ,I raised mine and a few more to be self reliant,
you say your grown ,to old for rules ?Good I agree
Now go show the world what good upbringing can do and how smart you are .
The ones who took my advice are now healthy ,wealthy and wise ,
the others had to turn 30 to realize they should have listened ,,but now they are doing fine too ,
See we paid our dues and got the scars so our kids didn't have to ,
call us old fashioned if you want to ,
I have answered to no one since I was 17 ,I made my own way and took care of A LOT of people along the way ,,My parents never seen a nursing home ,Dad died at home ,Mom her last day at Hospice .I took care of my Grandfather until the night he died too .I took care of them ,helped pay their bills ,just like I was raised to do .
If you can do better without advice ,,more power to ya ,
wish I would have taken some ,,I might have a few less scars ,
but like my Dad said ,I would be a wise man one day if it didn't cost me to much ,I have to learn everything the hard way,
it has cost me a lot to be me but I wouldn't change a thing ,
I have some great Kids ,respectful very smart Grandkids a miracle now days ,
everything I own may not be the best but its mine and paid for
I have peace of mind ,all I can wish is for you to have the same ,
I did finally learn to take advise ,listen to and show respect to my elders ,
turns out they are a wealth of experience and not as dumb as I thought after all ,I guess 30 is a turning point ,at least for some ,
God bless
@rckt148: Sounds like you've learned a lot.
