The bottom line, giving our kids and teens privacy is DANGEROUS, as is being their pal instead of their parent.
As Missy Robertson says of raising her three kids,
“We can walk in to their rooms at any time and ask for anything we want or anything we’re suspicious of. They might not like it, but they never balked at it because it’s just what happened in our house. Anything we thought needed adjusting in terms of attitude and behavior, that’s our right as parents. We’re losing that in culture, so we need to take control because we want our kids in Heaven. It’s not about this earth, it’s about preparing them for eternity.”
It’s really NOT about this earth, parents…but sometimes, we’ve got to do what’s inconvenient to protect our kids while we’re on it.
Thanks Missy, for being willing to say it out loud!
