Even having strong family core unit does't assure that a kid is going to follow the path you wish they would follow. Some kids are very strong willed or they pick the wrong friends or they just have their own agenda. I used to think this was a reflection on parents....but as I've gotten older and talked with other parents.....I've realized it just depends on the child.
As Star said....a kid can change on you overnight. One day you have control and one day you don't. Puberty and PMS do wicked things to the sweet little girl you once knew. LOL!
I'm not suggesting just because a girl breaks a few rules or even gets pregnant.....that she's a bad girl or doesn't have a great future in store. I'm just stating that it's harder than it looks like it will be to get kids from point A to point B.
My daughter has pulled a few goodies of her own too!
