All The Small Things

Without Prejudice



We tend to be very selective who hangs around with the "Boys"
Vunerable teenage boys need the good role models, they were following their older brother slavishly for a while, one still does, but older brother busy with new life, now, Family coming to him now and he will make a great Dad, he's always been one.

We have never let too many influences, disturb them. The Great Uncles are fantastic but live in Queensland, and their Uncles do a good job. working with them, getting them jobs. Kyle, Zach, Brock. work all the school holidays and have for years. Working for their dad's Mum, Pam.

They put medical accesories together and love the money and hate having to sit all the time.

Zach wants to be a Policeman, he is 17 in a few months. A quiet shy boy, who loves everybody and hates to make waves. Popular friend and student. Starting to question what he wants from life, no kids or family till at least 30.

Brock is 15 and sullen and moody and incredibly good looking, girls, no, wants to be a somebody one day, and has a great brain, which he hates to use. He requires tough disciline, now and needs to make up his mind what to do.

Jai is a red headed, also handsome kid, with fierce intellect and knows what he wants. he wants to be a "family Man' and doesn't want his wife to work and he will do nothing at home. His wife will do it all and he will earn enough money for her to stay at home permanently, having kids and looking after him.

He's nice and polite, Jai, as they all are.

Roberta Williams, shadow, Yvette bringing up polite quiet kids, 7 boys, all scared to death of her and that's probably a good thing

But she spoils them rotten and they get the best of everything.

Kyan 7 and born 5 weeks early and he has always been a little wall flower but now coming out of his baby hood and teasing his little brother Acer mercilessly. Acer handles it and picks on the baby out of a bit of jealousy.

They are all vunerable and they notice evrything and question it, how does it affect them in other words??

They've been through a lot and so now we all settled down after 12 months, we look for male mentors for them. Clint and Ivan good as they both love kids and boys especially, but I have to make sure Ivan doesn't give them the wrong advice about life, well women anyway.

Ivan drinks a lot as well most of the time and we don't drink Yvette and I, only socially, so we keep alcohol away from them. They are educated about sex and drugs and peer pressure. We make sure they know everything, with Yvette as their Mum, they always going to hear it. She holds nothing back.

The past, their Dad, other influences. And she's right, none of them drink, do drugs, no porn sites, bit of facebook, no mobiles, and just outside stuff or COD games, beach, swim, holidays. And we focused on bringing up 7 little tax payers giving back what they have been allowed to have.

Three of them working over the last two years and Kyle full time since he was 17.
They are expected to work as we have found boys tend to be lazy and need the discipline to get up every day.

My darling brother In Law Winn, saying,
"Boy needs purpose to get up every day"

He's worked all his life and finds even in retirement he likes to trot off to work everyday, Jackie cutting his lunch.

So now we see it as a full time job, just raising them, and being 17,15,13,7,3 and 1, we can't afford to let them go off track, like their Dad.

He knows it and he wouldn't want us to replace him as a Dad. But he knows what he is and prefers Yvette to raise them because he reckons she is a fantastic Mum.

Yvette has only had two men around her in 21 years, both the dad's of her boys. And I have had 2, one long term and one short. And they were good to the boys, always. I wouldn't have anyone around the boys that I thought would not be a good influence on them. They deserve it and they will soon be grown and gone. I cried all day when Kyle left. So we put in now and they reward us later.
