Michimom, had the same discussion for with my son, LOL. He said mom I was a playboy, but BC gave me another outlook on life, I'm concentrating on my life first. hmmmm I love my son, but seeing is believing. LOL --I told him son't be having one night stands and my grandbabies be halfway across country either. --told him females looking for benefits and a regular paycheck.

Lala preach on momma, I'm with you ---Tell them girls again, You make your, that man doesn't make you, but he can enhance you.

Lynne, that's too funny I have to let my son look at some of you guys sailors. It's also nice to know that my son, helped others. I always tell my husband its in our blood. LOL he's always asking me, why do you have the need to help everyone, well my greatgrand, grandma, ma, aunts, we can't help it. Its the way God made us. LOL

Lynn I will send you her address.LOL and yes I still use that word and also the Bomb, so my children may think the words are out dated but they get my point across.
Pray for my family, my husband lost his sister this morning, so we are headed to Los Angeles.
Comment by MandyPants (Ship 13 Div 244) on July 30, 2010 at 2:45am
Thank you--all of you--for your encouraging words. I grew up with a single mom. My dad was in the Air Force so rather than move our family all over my mom and my dad just decided to go their separate ways and not get married. Don't get me wrong, my dad has still been my dad for my whole life. He's always there, we talk every Sunday and I visit him once or twice a year. But he wasn't in the house with me. My mom taught me well to be a strong, independent, kind and compassionate person. I've never really been able to relate to most girls my age because I view things so differently than most of them. I believe we are meant to be kind and giving to one another as human beings, that we are all created equal on this earth. It makes me so sad to see girls my age who give us all a bad name by being catty, playing games and destroying their man's trust. I have to contend with broken trust in this current venture of mine. I know it's hard for him to accept that I'm not going to hurt him the way he's been hurt in the past. But having to fight that AND deal with the whole Navy situation--it's tough. You know what matters the most though? My sincere and genuine love for him and my concern for his overall well being.

Sorry that got kind of rambly. Guess I've had a lot to think on with your comments. Thank you though for your kind observations of me, they really do mean a lot.

So right Lala...We who have been through a lot of living can only hope that the younger people will listen to those who have been there and choose the best path
