Here is an interesting topic for a thread: someone name ONE contribution to parenting that the entire profession of "child psychologists" has produced.
ONE.
You always spot the lousy parents. They are the ones sitting at Starbucks reading the parenting magazine while their two-year-old throws muffins.
"My vote for insane parenting is giving your one-year-old three or four choices for everything. Ex: "Do you want apple slices, string cheese, or a pear for your snack?"
It's not just little kids that are rude and unruly. It's the whole of society. If you have a large segment of society that thinks it's okay to have cars with loud mufflers that wake up the whole neighborhood and steroes that are so powerful they can sway the car sitting next to them with the subwoofer beat, then you have a society that doesn't believe in being civil anymore.
LOL!
