Why not let him learn and play guns in a safe environment like a paint ball arena? If he is going to be an army man because that is what he wants, you can't stop him. But at least let him be great at it which will help him survive if he ultimately chooses that route. More likely, he will get his oats out and move on to something else.JaneVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10803163341379136061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31224404.post-45302391976117241092010-01-06T09:50:59.533-05:002010-01-06T09:50:59.533-05:00I would love to follow your new blog, should you s...I would love to follow your new blog, should you start one! good luck on the big "move"!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31224404.post-41674000671825163832010-01-04T17:55:59.625-05:002010-01-04T17:55:59.625-05:00I'd love to follow you to your new blog.

I went to a private school 15 miles away and the only summer play dates I had were with school friends. My parents were always schlepping us around during the summer but that kept me from driving them bonkers once the novelty of no school wore off.

You can't control what they'll do or the kids' reactions... The only thing you can do is set limits and expectations, and think both of these are key.
