EH is surrounded by mostly good influences, except for me of course. No, I influence her to play guitar, swear, and drink blueberry wine with me until early morning on a website with people who pride themselves on being Nazis. Hell, it's 22:30 and I just suggested she play some music and jam with her friend.
Hopefully she takes away the right things!
Nah, I'm kidding. I really am a good influence. Prior to living here and getting her out of her previous situation, her very biggest dream was to MAYBE get a job in the service industry in the tourist town. That was her best hope.
Now, she's already performed in front of thousands of people. She's planning on going to university. She's getting excellent grades. She's very well behaved. She will be attending drivers education soon. The list goes on. She's a good kid.

All we can do is teach them well and hope like fuck they exercise that when we're not around even though we know they wont always and will have to live and learn some things the hard way.

Yeah. She will fuck up. We all do. I'll pick her up, dust her off, and make sure she learned a lesson.
I've grown quite fond of her, of you haven't noticed. She will be given the support and tools she needs. She will have the opportunity to make something of herself.
I won't just give it to her. She has to work. She has to be productive. Even my own children have to work and be productive. EH works on the farm for at least six hours per week. She shovels shit, literally. She takes care of horses that belong to rich snobs and get borded on the farm.
Everyone has to work, except the missus. The missus gets a pass, but she still works.
