Why is it when your child does something wrong it points back to you? My son is 19 and was taught to work hard, be respectful, tell the truth, etc. but when he messes up everything is thrown in my lap. I can't understand how he could be considered an adult and giving rights but if he messes up it's my fault. He blames me for everything that goes wrong, and it's really starting to get to me..... wrong or right, stand on your own two feet and accept some responsiblity. Yes / No ? I would give my life for my child and the things he's going through now......but I would also like some...........some, something...........

no its not your fault! HE is old enough to blame himself not you! I dont know what he is going thru but if he has messed up somehow he needs to straighten it out of cource you help as much as you can . We used to help son with Child supportbut he took care of it in later years when he got a job he could stay in and he loved. Your son just need s to grow up and not depend on mom to do it all sorry if this sounds bad.

Yeah know what you are saying there . We try to raise our children and do what is right by them but for some reason that is never enough . Sometimes I wonder where I went wrong when my children come back and get upset about something or when they do something wrong and get in trouble for it .

Everyone keeps telling me he'll learn some day, and when he has children of his own he'll learn to accept what I have done, sometimes good and sometimes wrong. Children don't come with a handbook...
