Children are born liberals. The role of parenting is one of civilizing them into conservatives.

The most insightful statement I have read in a while. If you give little hedonists everything they want they will grow into big hedonists.

That's very true. I have a BIL who proudly called himself a "hedonist" years ago. Let's just say he's lived up to the label. Did I mention he had lousy parents?

When my daughters tell me she wants something, I always reply that I want a daughter who eats her vegetables. I then ask her If I am going to get what I want. She says, “No.” I then respond, “We don’t always get what we want, do we?”
