I have two kids.My kids were born after I joined AA. I consider myself one of the lucky ones. My relationship with my kids is a good one.
They are grown. They are 30 and 26.
They are known as AA babies. When I joined AA there were very few AA babies. Since then there are a lot more.
There are a lot more because fortunately Bill and Bob knew how to attract rather then promote AA and AA became acceptable to us at younger and younger ages.
My boys have known about AA since----day one. They were taught the program.
They use the program in their daily lives. They have been
to meetings because they wanted to know where I went all the time.
I hope if they ever need AA that they will not be afraid to show up.
OF course, first of all I hope they will never "need" AA. Even if AA is a wonderful way of life as we
know, we all paid a lot of dues to get here.
I hear people in meetings talk about the problems they have with their kids all the time. I would like to know how you all talk to your kids about AA.
Why you go to meetings? How you explain the program to them? Does it help them? Do they use it?
Do they want to go to meetings with you? Do you feel a desire to expose them to the program?
Well, enough questions from me, you all probably have lots of good information you can share with
me as exposing my children to AA was not a battle.
I think I have a lot to learn.
I will listen now.
Thanks,
Pam
