So I just got home not too long ago from Yonkers.I had a minor situation to handle that was very unexpected.Long story short, my homegirl is a single mom doing her best to raise a young son by herself.And truthfully she has a bad temper that gets worked over a lot.Sooooooo after I got the paper work I stopped by for, she got into a bacC and forth with her son that I knew wouldnt end well.As I left and got outside I could hear the yelling from the street.I turned around and went bacC in.
Fortunately it was only yelling but I hate conflict and noise.So instead of going home I had a 30 minute convo about behavior, communication and expression with an 11yr old boy.I've always been aware of NOT speaking or interjecting on parenting issues but I didnt like the tone of things.He was crying when I started and smiling when I left so I guess job well done.
I'm perfectly aware that this boy has no real father.A biological does exist but he's a piss poor example. I can only hope that something I said holds in his overactive mind.

..that was good looking out. taking the time to talk to the boy and whatnot. u don't see that often. kudos to u.
sometimes insight is always easier from the outside in..and sometimes the same advice you been hearin from your parent sounds better coming from someone you don't know...awkward but true...
you didn't have to but you did and probably made a difference...
