What you want for your child...

Today was a rough day for Elijah. He keeps hitting a child that is younger than him at daycare. Since I am a single mom, I always have to be the bad guy and do all of the discipline, but I think of it as teaching him how to be a good person.

He went to bed early tonight and I told him that no matter what he does, I still love him, but I just need him to learn right from wrong and the choices he made today were not good choices. I told him the choices were bad choices, but he is not a bad boy.

I am sitting here thinking about what do I want for him for the future? I want him to just be happy, to be a productive member of society, to be a respectful person and to follow his dreams.
