Re: What will you do ...
The job of a parent is to support, love and teach their children. INshallah, the values that we teach to our boys will follow them and they would not find themselves in a situation like this. BUT if it did happen, I would be supportive of them and do my best to help them work things out in the best way possible...
thats the job of being a parent.
I do not and never will understand people who throw their children out, "disown" them or in any way make their lives miserable due to mistakes made. Sure, there needs to be consequences at times...but cut them off? Throw them out? Never. That would make the parent more of a failure than the child. More of a sinner than the child. You can drop a friend, you can divorce a husband or wife. But your child is your child forever and thats not a job that you can just quit.
The response above about taking the kid out of college...how does that help in any way? Wouldnt it be better to leave the kid in college, make demands that the kid go to class and then back to dorm to study, to make good grades and enforce this in some way? How does taking the kid out of college and shutting them in a room help? The kid will become angry and resentful and probably misbehave even more once they are let out of jail yeah?
As far as I'm concerned, if MY kids get into trouble, I am at least in a small part responsible for that. And it is my duty to myself, my kids and God to help them thru it.
