Well, my secret is my parenting philosophy of "benign neglect."
I have developed a special recipe for being the perfect dad. I'll share it with you if you promise not to tell anyone:
- one part Sheriff Andy Taylor (Andy Griffith Show),
- one part Lucas McCain (The Rifleman),
- one part Al Bundy (Married With Children)
- one part Peter Griffin (Family Guy).
Seems to work perfectly.
How old is she now?
That approach usually works up to about age 16.
Then watch out!
