How very dismissive of you. I'm hurt.  I think I'm all typed out, until I locate more beer. Basically, everything you said I agree with and I don't believe I said anything to the contrary. I can't stand when there is no discipline whatsoever in a child's life, or parents who only want to be buds with their kids. That's one end of the spectrum, and the other end is the iron-fist rule over kids. Neither of these "methods" work. |

Hey Fistor, I pick and choose my battles. I applaud good and try to stay away from the bad. I have seen parents that only focus on the bad and never look at the good. I am not saying that your parents were that way. I can see how, if parents were that way, kids could end up rebelling. I stay involved in my childrens lives not only because I don't want to miss anything, but because I have to know what is going on. Call me an overstrict parent, call me obsessive. I call me a concerned parent who loves their children very, very much. Sorry if I came across any other way Fistor.

Yes, all my parents did was focus on bad, so much so that they found bad when there wasn't any. I'm seriously considering writing a book about my life with my parents. The shit they put me through might blow your hair back. Sounds like we're back on the same page. Wanna make out? (i've been successful in my quest for more beer) |

You have to fight before you indulge in a make up make out.
Say something to piss me off and I'll see what I can do.

We can all understand parents being over protective in our society but after a while you have to cut the chain, Until i was about 14 my parents contolled soo much of my life and i thank them for it, But then they gradually let me make my own choices and yes, i hung out with the wrong people, yes i did some stupid crap which i somewhat regret but still, i made my OWN choices
If you baby and overprotect your kids for too long they are gonna hate you for it. Yes, try to keep them on the right path but also let them make their own mistakes. I know my parents loved me and my kids know i love them but crap happens in life, you just gotta take it and move on

Quite the opposite. My kids have chores etc. They make their own decisions and if they make the wrong one they pay the consequences! Fistor, you're a dork! (how's that? Now can we make out?)  |

So I'm lecturing now? Look at me go. I can give a "lecture" in, what was that, like two sentences? Are you going to sit there and syntax us to death, or are you actually going to post an opinion or rebuttal? Which one are you, Obama or McCain? I'm neither, obviously. They have much better things to do than argue on an internet message board. So I guess I'm going to syntax you to death, since that's all my argument with Biff has been about in this thread, and I don't see you calling him out on it. |

All I know is that I, and many others, can easily tell the difference between kids who are disciplined and those that aren't. I let my kids make their own choices. However, my wife and I maintain the option to overthrow those choices if we determine them to be detrimental to their physical and / or mental well being. Do we let them do stupid things to "learn a lesson", yes. But there is a limit as to where we stop them. We feel and believe that if the kids conduct themselves in an honest, respective manner now, they will be better prepared for adulthood.

This may sound a bit harsh, but I honestly quit caring about "racism" a long time ago, when the term became so broad that almost everything can be made into racism. And when I see that people like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson can say and do whatever racist things they want but somehow because the judges of racism in America and now can shakedown anyone they want.
Real racism sucks, and yes I think it sitll exists, but I get a bit tired of all the "outrage" over things.
