*LOL*
Okay, I know most FReeper parents are probably the greatest and all, but there has been rarely a time I've gone shopping and *not* seen screaming, snotty brats in the aisles, towing along their cowed/(a)pathetic/resentful "parents".
No offense, but do you expect children to behave perfectly, all of the time? Especially with bad examples?
How can we expect that of children when even adults don't know how to comport themselves properly half the time? (Paris Hilton, Vince Neil are two that come to mind immediately for me). Heck, my husband sees people come into his restaurant that don't behave half as well as our children, and these people are adults! :0)
I bet a dollar, not a one of them had a stay at home mama; nor was one home schooled.
Hell, I bet a hundred.
What we see when we see that, is the result of bad choices by parents. It is not ipso facto proof that bringing children into the world is a bad thing.
