Pattie Mallette Is Worried About Justin - " I Hope To Still Be A Respected Voice In His Ear"!!

While promoting her new book, "Nowhere But Up", Justin´s mom, Pattie Mallette talks about Justin and the experiences she has had raising him and stated that she has to change her parenting style now because Justin is more of an adult than he was before. When asked about Justin´s recent behaviour and "bad boy" reputation, She told Today:

Well, I think asparents, we all woryy about our kids, whether they´re going off to college, you know, whatever __whatever situatoin they´re in.

I think at a certain age, the parenting style changes.aAnd he´s always been such a strong-willed child, you know. I talk about that (in the book)

About their communication?

I talk to Justin. I text him and call him everyday, as ,much as you can for an adult child that doesn´t live with you. He knows what I think. I hope I´m still a big voice in his ear.

Pattie admitted to Newsday on July 3rd that she doesn´t cross the line when talking about Justin to the press.

He wants me to continue to respect his boundaries and my relationship with him.

Everybody has their own opinion and everybody wants to sensationalise everything. You have to sort of let them make some of their own decisions. Me, personally, I would love to be with him all the time and to be able to ground and deal wth his problems an do all that stuff, but at some point the parenting style changes. I hope to still be a respected voice in his ear.

Whatever the situation or behaviour, Pattie, as a mom like any other will still and always be concerned about her baby. It´s only natural. I also hope and pray that she will continue to be a big voice in his life. I mean, it´s not only his mom who worries about him, so do Beliebers, but as always, we try to keeep a positive attitude and help Justin as much as we can, sometimes, it´s all about letting the people you love to make their own mistakes so that they have a first hand feeling and they learn from it. But I definetely think that Justin needs his mom´s guidance and he should listn to her advice.

Some of the advice, once in a while might fall into deaf ears but time will come when he will make better decisions, but for the time being, I think we should all concetrate more in his music, but we shouldn´t forget that he is human and a teenager and he is bound to make mistakes. It´s a phase everyone goes through but I know that Justin loves his mom nomatter what, he still turns to her when he has problems. Well, better times are coming, that is for sure.
