Well, our Little Dude is staying in heartbreak hotel this week, he came to us for advice and guidance so we had to navigate some pretty difficult waters to support him without putting our own bias in there. But he handled the conversation really well and it allowed us to support him and get him thinking about mature relationships and how to make good decisions.
