Doug,

As a teacher I can vouch for the fact that it's a near impossibility to get parents to see, let alone admit their children's faults it is like shoveling sludge against the tide. They in turn become defensive and attempt to deflect blame on us or others. Enablers (They enable their kids to never take responsibility) They knows and always have. You're wasting too much energy on something you'll never get them to admit.

By the way... what are Teddy's latest escapades? Any girlfriends?rabbits? combos of the two? we haven't heard about him in a while.

Be well,

Maria

Doug:

I agree with Maria. I feel from your blogs you are spending too much time on analyzing "& proving to your parents how yor brother was wrong. how would that help you in moving on with your life. I too am looking forward to hearing from you about Teddy's adventures.
