"You love your kids not matter what they do."

While Miss Cheney's sin does not reach the level of some, I do think it is fair to notice than one too many parents feel just as you do. Is it unsporting of me to notice the quotes of all the serial killers who "love" their monsters for children?

Some of them have gotten out right mad should anyone would suggest their children are anything but wonderful people.

I had a brother that went AWOL while in the Navy. I was just little but I remember my retired Chief of a father politely telling him he has a choice. Go back and face the Skipper or stay at home and wait for the police to pick him up. He said that with his hands on the telephone. The message was clear my brother went back that to his ship that night. And my father was the soft permissive one of the parents.

There is a saying "Love the man but hate the sin." It seems to be forgotten these days.

You've got to be kidding me. Love for children and acceptance of their behavior or actions are two different things entirely. Do serial killers have parents that still love them? Of course they do. But I'm sure those parents would have wished different lives for them. My brother has been in jail for years. He got out last fall, and is already facing charges again. He has hurt many people, not the least of all his parents. I know my father always hated what my brother did with his life and the choices he made. And I also know that he still loved him.
I may not always agree with everything my sons do in their lives. They may do things that anger me, that hurt me or disappoint me. But I will never stop loving them.
