More Koolaid, Please

For all of this time, the excuse has been, "He's a boy, that's what they do." All the hurt and amazingly bad decisions have been attributed to the fact that he doesn't know any better, because he's a boy.

I am tired of that. I want to believe that he is able to make good decisions and able to see the consequences of his actions and, most importantly, able to effectively maintain relationships with the people who are important to him.

Is that so much to ask...?
