i've been thinking a lot about accountability and i have a few questions.... if we do the best we can, meaning that our intentions are pure and we THINK that we're making the best choices, but it turns out to not be the best choice, are we accountable? are we to blame? for example, i really thought that having a father in my son's life would be the best thing. i didn't know how disastrous it would be to have a BAD father, or even how bad it was until i got out of it. i made the choice to marry, so it was MY decision. i even made the choice to stay. bcs of some of the things that happened, this particular son learned a lot abt hypocrisy first-hand. and it changed him. in a bad way. he lost his innocence in a way. sooooo.... who's accountable? obviously the husband who was the meanie, but what abt me? i chose the meanie...
that's all. it was just a thought. maybe later/tomorrow/next wk i'll have more entertaining thoughts, but for now, that's it....
Yay!!!!!!! I've fugured out how to comment :) so I wanted to say this.
ReplyDeletePeople make choices all the time that affect everyone around them, especially their children. We as parents are not perfect and we are still in the learning process. We do our best and our children should be able to learn those lessons along with us. Then when they are old enough they will be held accountable for how they take those lessons and what they do with them. Thank Heavens our parents mistakes Do not have to shape who we are.
