Default Best advice you ever got
After responding to another thread and sharing the best advice I ever got, I thought I'd like to hear what each of you consider to be the best advice you were ever given.



The best advice I ever got? I went to a clergyman and rattled on and on how my son would go to jail if I didn't intervene, blah blah blah. He just sat there and smiled. When I finally shut up and asked him what to do, he gave me the words of advice that I would keep leaning on: "Just love 'em."

I did and I do. Just love 'em. I backed off and let my four kids make their mistakes and learn from them, just like I was allowed to do when I was a young person.
