My favourite quote is 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you'.
Life really is a roller-coaster with it's ups and downs and varying speeds. Yet no matter how hard you try to stay on an even keel, something always comes along to kick you in the teeth and remind you just how fragile life is. We are all trying to live the best we know how and to get along together. So take time to appreciate those around you and tell them how much you love them occasionally. A smile and a kind word speaks volumes.

Can anyone be very DETAILED in answering: would you allow your child to go on a stay away from home visit - with ANYONE whom you do NOT know where they live, or whom they live with? (link)

When it comes to my children I want to know everything I can about who they would be staying with. I definitely would never allow her to go on a stayover if I didn't know where she was and who she was with. The adult is the one who has to make these decisions, not the child. The other people may be very nice BUT YOU DO NOT KNOW FOR SURE. Safety is paramount because once a deed is done, it cannot be undone. If you have to be the horrible, mean adult here so be it. Good luck.

That's exactly what I thought! Of course I am classified as using my child as a pawn - because I do not like that it has been like this for well over # 3 years. I was threaten by a family member, because I would not allow them to take him to a retreat!
