@SW-User It’s alright. It hurts me when I see kids take their parents for granted too. It’s not easy to teach other people’s kids because they’re not likely to listen to you if they already don’t listen to their parents. It’s amazing that you could teach them successfully. You did a huge favor for their parents and themselves most of all.

@SW-User My Grandkids friends all love to come to stay with them
My Youngest has 2 kids not her own that will be living with her again when school starts ,they are with their Moms during the summer
But we got them to return to school ,and taught them manners and respect
They had none for their parents ,but they liked coming over ,
girls hanging with my granddaughter and the boys like to fish with my grandson
But the rule to be there is respect ,for my family and their own
We make a point right away to meet their parents ,let them know where and who their kids are around ,,and we have rules ,school is one of them
I have raised 10 kids ,my middle daughter 25 foster kids
And now my youngest , with her mans 3 and her 2, my daughter has 5 (2 of her mans kids are special needs )
and now 2 add on's ,,it is a full house
now 2 have gone back to high school ,,this is their senior year
She helped them get all their credits caught up with on line testing and night school ,,they will walk with their class and graduate this next June
So you would be surprised how love ,and being stern ,and demanding respect can change lives
I have a lot of kids that call me Papaw
I am the mean ole Grandpa they never had ,I love them all ,good kids
