I wish I could take it all away from my children so they may stay protected but I can't. As a father of four all I can do is explain to them right from wrong and pray they listen when ever these items present themselves. I think you would make an amazing mother Amy!

Kill your television (literally, like with a sledge hammer), take your kids on a walk, and talk to them, I mean actually talk to them, no matter what age they are, as if they are adults. Every one else is going to and if you don't do it first, then who the hell knows what they will start believing.cfwynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11037851771912682682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2084714610149216634.post-50685631334625038542010-05-20T17:41:43.735-07:002010-05-20T17:41:43.735-07:00You will be sooo much more disgusted with all of t...You will be sooo much more disgusted with all of this when you actually have your own!

"Do as I say, not as I do", those parents need a smack in the head. My kids aren't allowed in the same room, once adults start talking. You shouldn't talk about things you did over the weekend with some woman or guy, in front of kids...you shouldn't make gestures in front of kids. They'll think its ok. If my kids are even a little disrespectful, they know what's coming next! My kids are going to respect, and they're going to do things the right way. I was taught that way, they're being taught that way. I just feel sorry for those parents that still need parenting themselves..and all they do is have baby after baby after baby...and are bad role models for their own kids....arrghh! :o) <br />~m.e.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17771860347073962528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2084714610149216634.post-87547945100675730442010-05-18T14:25:37.801-07:002010-05-18T14:25:37.801-07:00I too am a mean mom....Computer is locked down lik...I too am a mean mom....Computer is locked down like a vault and the hours she can use it are restricted. She can't go to her friends unless I know the parents and trust their values, no hanging out at the center of all that is evil(you may know it as the mall...lol)without an adult... but you know what....Meg will get over it! BTW: I don't even know what a Cleveland Steamer is....you'll have to enlighten me.

I don't let them go to people's houses I don't know, I contain my fowl language to whisperings in the ear of my other half, and try hard to instill morals such as respect for other people's property, and common courtesy. I agree wholeheartedly that people procreate for sport these days, never paying attention to the fact that you have to grow up and parent them as well...jgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07707613297668366407noreply@blogger.com
