Trust

Just sitting here fighting a bad cold, waiting for an errant son to come home. Knowing that once again a lie he's told, but, hoping that safely home he will come. Oh, I have heard the expert's arguments that say establish rules and dominance, that children need models and sacraments. Yet, I read of children of prominence, their failings, and wonder if anyone really has a handle on how to raise a child? When do we trust their judgement truly, allow them mistakes made in our youth wild? I don't care how bad these sniffles are, I will wait up until I hear his car.
