So do you know what that is? “A Kegger”
It’s when our “children” of 20 years old order a keg (or more) of beer and invite all of their friends…on facebook so the entire world knows, and they have a party and do “keg stands”!!whoo hoo!!!And now that our kids are all older they all, including “the baby” are part of the party and it’s kind of nice that they can share good times together…..and mingle with eachothers friends-something we’ve always encouraged)
I don’t know…they’re all great people and moving ahead and going to university/college/working..Our daughter Elisa, is going to teach trapeze at Club Med for 6 months…and work with adults and children.She’s very wonderful with children and a gifted athlete, so we’re really happy about it.
I wonder about all the drinking though, there’s something a bit sad in it…why do they feel a need to get so inebriated to have a good time?What’s missing in their lives that they can’t have a drink or 2 and that be enough? There’s also the issue of frequency. They seem to do it more than once a week.At university,they probably do it every other night, if not every night.
I wonder if it’s motivated by fear…or self doubt. I think as anabling parents of the past 20 years we have done our children a disservice by making everything too easy. They haven’t had the opportunity to realize how capable they are of doing things on their own, of working toward a goal, of making decisions, of being on their own, of saving money, of paying for things themsleves…so now they still feel like kids in some sense and are insecure in their place in the world…on shakey ground , so they address this need for stability or self assurance by escaping that feeling with drugs and alcohol…and still trying to maintain some kind of normalcy.
i don’t know… still trying ot figure this one out…
They are good .They just don’t realize how good.
