In *our* family, if YOU do the crime, YOU do the time.
Meaning: If a girl has sex and gets pregnant, that baby doesn’t pay the price.
If the son decides to screw around with drugs, HE pays the price, not the entire family.
We are all about *individual responsibility* but we are not about collective punishment.
Well said, and Amen!

So what if your next door neighbor’s kid was selling heroine out of their house...You’re okay with that I suppose. At some point the homeowner has to take responsibility for the actions of their inhabitants of their home.
Or...not I suppose and then kids can go on dealing out of mom and dad’s basements forever and because it isn’t the kids home no one has to be held accountable and there is no threat of the law so no one has to comply.
I guess that is cool now.
We choose not sell drugs out of our home...sorry, were just sort of old fashioned that way and if one of my kids was selling drugs, I would be the first to call the cops.
